You're right that the boots don't change shape much after wearing (they do
a little, but not nearly as much as leather boots do). For some, that's
good. For those of me that have foot shape quirks, the break-in provided a
short, albeit painful adaption process. Take the good with the bad, I
guess....

My Older Vasque Alpine's fit like a glove, not sure what hiking boot I'll go
with once I run them into the ground, however they're still plenty of tread
left. I'm going to ask if I can get them resoled.

I had a pair of Asolo's that were like that. I wore the tread smooth.
Paid ~$40 to get them resoled, but they were never the same. I bought
the nearest equivalent Asolo that I could find, but nothing since has
replaced those boots.

When you hike/backpack a good pair of boots are priceless.
