I am still wearing hiking boots my ex's father gave me off of the Dexter shoe factory line (he was the factory foreman -- back when Dexter was not make in China but in Maine). Ex and I split in 1992, which gives you a clue as to the age of the boots. In fact, I wore these same boots during Pensacola flight training in 1981 -- had to get a waiver to wear non-issue boots. It was a no-brainer for the rule makers, given that they were far superior to what the military issued me. I had the only dry feet during the survival training weekend in Pensacola.
They are still almost like they rolled off of the Skowhegan, Maine assembly line -- except the decades have formed them to my individual feet. My standard motorcycle riding attire.
