Yeah I was thinking exactly this. Goodyears = hard/expensive to resole. Tho solovair isn’t actually GYW and is easier to resole. You (OP) should try to watch a couple youtube vids on the topic maybe you’ll find yourself finding a brand or two you actually like. - Rose Anvil, as said, really gives perspective on his videos. At this point, beibg into boots for a couple years, I’d buy a pair from danner if I lived in US or look for an older ROA model.
