I'm going to start off as saying that Republic Boot Co boots are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever worked in and worn.
I ordered a pair back in 2023, and there were the traditional style of a leather sole. I'm in law enforcement, and my agency allows me to were cowboy boots. I wore hole in the bottoms of them. I investigated over 200 collisions, made 800+ traffic stops, and well over 400 hours of overtime. (I'll add the photos of the soles).
I bought the resole in November. I added in the description that I would like a thicker outsole if possible, as I wanted to get more of the boots. Republic Boot Co called me to inquire and they decided to do a 'vibrim' outsole, which is a all rubber sole.
They came in last week and very pleased and excited to wear them again. They are still just as comfortable and feel like a new pair of boots. I have worked several shift in them and my feet haven't gotten tired. Out of all the boots I have ever worked, these are the best.
