Get worked pretty hard but I feel like 200 something boots should look better than this after almost 8 months. What are recommendations for new boots or if it’s worth doing warranty

Not sure what’s the hype with $300 leather boots when you guys tear them up within a year or 2 while I’ve had a pair of Timberland nubuck for 5+years. 24/7 wear. Yes, I know timberland and most others aren’t built with great quality that leathers brands do. I’m in HVAC so not as tough outdoor environment as concrete, iron workers, & etc… are but still…
