We had a heavy shower whilst I was out on the bike last week..
I remember thinking "Strange, my foot feels wet"..
Could this be the reason?

Put a plastic bag over your sock, years left in that.

Mine have worn on the side, very similar, but not the sole.  I'm in the market for new boots as well, I've always had touring boots, no need for track boots.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

I just recently bought a new pair of boots after my old ones failed.
Got cool ones rather than waterproof ones - a decision I may regret at some point....

Two mates recently got new boots , one revitt and the other RST, both complaining bitterly about not being able to change gear, looking at both sets they are very thick soled compared to older boots, RST guy moved his  on and got his old BMW boots repaired instead

Yeah, leaning towards BMW boots...

I'll stick with my Altberg Hoggs, I can't see me ever going back to race boots.

Altberg are the boots for me as well, I've used them since the early 90's.

'Made in Yorkshire' so they say, there's also an Italian factory maybe final assembly here or something.

I've got these ones https://www.altberg.co.uk/boots/dual-use11/hogg-all-weather-original Bar the semi-seized gearbox & rough pedal on that Sprint I had tearing the top layer of leather on my left toe they hardly wear. I'm putting two pairs of laces in a year though, but I can live with that.
