I would take them to a cobbler and see if you can have them resoled. Screws aren’t an issue for resoling. They may not have a good welt like a doc Martin which can make it harder. They are 100% leather so nice and broken in boots are worth it to resole. If you decide to replace then get something with a Goodyear welt that can be resoled over a lifetime. You might have to pay a little more but think of them as lifetime boots.

The problem is that the leather is also to the point of being unusable. Provided, I never took great care of them, but it is crumbling at this point, and has holes on the most stressed off parts. My previous pair is a bit better, doesn't have holes, but it still seems broken beyond repair to me, as the surface is peeling away.

Kinda answered your own question there. Same boots, take care of them. Then they might last longer
