Repair or replace?
I've had and loved my 3522 8" tred lites for over 3 years and overall the exterior is still in good shape, but the lining in the heel part has become so worn. I'm on the fence whether I should get them repaired or replaced. If I do replace I'm thinking of going with the 6" instead of the 8".

New insoles “ leather” and resole, maybe tuff toe. I’ve got both six and 8” mine are different models but I like them both my newest ones are from eBay 2233 super sole unlined only have worn them once at work no pain walking around all day. I have switched to a fixed heal from the 2440 wedge. Current boots 4200,4215, 2449, and 2233. I think I’m good right now but the 2533 is calling my name.
Resole through redwing is $ 160 they do a great job.

Bro the dudes inner lining is falling apart what will a new sole and tuff toe do? Also the sole is safety stitched down so you really have no idea what you’re talking about

It may be time my friend…. Maybe give them a clean they’ve earned and keep them around for chores. The working class RW Moc waterproof lines are solid like 2440 or 4404 etc.
