And I think the first cobbler did what you told him to (not glue stain of course). It's just goodyear welted footwear could be resoled by removing an old sole and non-welted footwear have various problems resoling it(blake footwear have hard time about resoling a sole) or cannot resole it. (normal footwears, called cemented construction, can only be half resoled by your boots method which is cutting down the old one and glueing a newer sole)

If you want price per daily durability, no, $90 cheap ugly looking leather shoes or New Balances are better. I would wager Dr Martens would have similar durability too. But if you want 'expensive looking leather shoes' in that category Red Wings have the most cost performance ratio.
