UPDATE: did confirm in the product details that this is indeed easy to resole (assuming you have access to a good, local shop equipped to do the work). This is noteworthy in part because it makes the boot very adaptable/configurable to your particular needs.
Not everyone needs a pair of leather work boots designed to broken in over a decade, but if you're in the market these might be it(?).
Good luck!

I have 4 or 5 pairs of 1000 miles. They are easily broken in with 6-12 months.
Worn daily and they are fitted to your foot in a few months.
My first pair worn almost daily (never in snow and avoiding HEAVY rain days) needed resoled in about 3 years. I was wearing through the leather bottoms.
That being said I absolutely love my made in USA 1000 miles.
I have different colors and different soles for nearly every occasion and I lovingly oil them and polish them on a regular basis.
I will have them for the rest of my life.
Part of the reason I wondered about resoling was that these comfort soles did seem particularly rugged. I think it's a comical point of pride that I've managed to have worn through a rugged Vibram sole(!) and for this type of work boot it's my preferred option (though obviously they're not required or preferred by everyone).
Of course, nothing is forever and I have definitely taken a pair through its entire lifetime and given them a viking funeral... but I'm talking about boots that were handed from my father, to my step-brother, and then to me. I had them long enough to go through one resole before the leather in the toe box finally wore through. Can that really be about me not caring for the shoe, or is there some point at which all the oil and wax in the world can't work if there's no underlying leather to hold together(?).
This last story is probably a bit of nightmare for manufacturers like Red Wings and Wolverine, but it's also why I certainly do recommend their premium products for people who want this kind of buy-once/wear-forever type product. I won't say it's never going to fail you, but it'd likely be one of the most reliable things in your wardrobe/work-kit by a long shot.
Good luck!

I definitely saw the same when I started digging through the site (mostly to assuage myself that they weren't making a lower cost but lowered-functionality tier without the Goodyear welt sole).
Good luck!
