Well-made walking shoes with repairable soles?

• Well-made walking shoes with repairable soles? This is kind of in line with cooking with cast iron, shaving with a straight razor, etc. I want well made comfortable walking shoes that will last for a decade with some upkeep and repair. I'm looking to make an investment in some shoes that I can walk in all day that also look like normal shoes. Black/brown leather, no loud branding or insignias. http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/product/shoes/men/blvd/ontario%20lace/black & love them, but Keen doesn't repair soles as I'm led to understand. Are we now in a world where good walking shoes can't be repaired, is this a fool's errand? Not looking to exceed a couple hundred. Go!

• Answer:

  I was in the Fluevog store in Toronto, and they have walking shoes with repairable soles and they also have the soles for sale and a shoe-repair person to refer you to when you need it. I was impressed by the quality of the shoes. Unfortunately for me, none of the shoes were the plain black that I was looking for (there were nice dark red ones, but the black ones had white detailing). I ended up with a pair of Doc Martens and I love them, but even though the soles are welted (and thus replaceable) I don't know where I'll be able to find Doc Marten soles for sale should I need them.
