Resting under the Major Oak.
After 42 years of service, they had to be replaced.

I’m now walking like Herman Munster.
 

 
Just get the old ones resoled. :)

Although it will probably cost as much as buying a new pair.

42 years!!  I'm lucky if I can get a pair of boots to last me a year.

 
At my last "boot change" I gave up on leather walking boots and bought synthetic onces instead. What a revalation to have boots that don't need breaking in, and to end a day on the mountains with dry feet.
 

 
I bouht a pair of KSBs (Karrimor super boots) when I was about 15 years old. They lasted about 25 years before getting thrown out cos they stank of peat. I've never bought leather boots since.
