I had a pair of heros for about a year and half. Wore them a couple times a week with not a ton of walking. Noticed some pretty severe damage to the uppers and backcounter on the boots. I reached out to customer support and they offered to replace my pair with factory seconds, or get a discount off a new pair.

I'm leaning towards getting a new pair with the discount, but not sure what the most durable pair would be. I like the style of the explorers but after my experience with the heros, I'm concerned about the durability of the leather.

Anyone have any ideas on what models are the most reliable for regular wear and occasional hiking?
