The Sidi Diablo winter MTB boots I got off Sergeant Pluck are finally being retired after 10 years
They are still ok but have been repaired and re-repaired with Araldite several times, the sole comes detached at the front
I've got some replacement Sidi boots for this coming winter/autumn

My Sidi mtb Dominators are 20 years old. I used to stick on bits of rubbers to the sole as it wore down but now the sole is smooth like the Look type road shoes.
I bought a replacement pair 5 years ago but can't be arsed to fit new cleats, plus they feel too big despite being the same model and size.

I checked my records and the next oldest shoes i could find a receipt for are from 2015. They are Shimano MT-71 comfy shoes for commuting in. Or these days going up the shops
However, i am not sure how old my Specialized Comp MTB shoes are. I have had two pairs since 2005

I have a pair of ancient LIDL MTB shoes in excellent condition. They are a bit heavy compared to my other pairs but I did a camping Raid Pyrenean in them, 2010 and weren't new even then.

There’s a photo of my first pair of Shimano shoes (I used Look delta system prior to that) when I retired them in March 2022. I think I bought them in 1997…
They would have done a few tens of thousands of miles.

A bit of gaffer tape and there's another quarter-century in those.
