My boots have always been inside the 1 year purchase when they get issues, typically around the 70 day mark. That post was back in 2018 and I've had more warranties since, one was for the tongue completely separating from the toe area of the boot where it's anchored in.
Essentially I buy the boot outright, last seasons in the summer if I can. Ride those boots 60-80 days before an issue arises, warranty that pair, ride the replacements until they deteriorate, retire or gift them, then purchase new again ideally on sale. So generally from 1 purchase at 30% off retail I'm getting 150-170ish days from 2 pairs of boots. I consider that good value for money for my favorite model of boot. If I got 100 days on a pair before warrantiable issues arose I wouldn't bother going through warranty as I do put my boots through a lot and would consider that a fair lifespan for what I've paid.
Ride have been beyond fantastic with warranties, as have shops. My last pair where the tongue fully separated were completely rideable as long as I didn't yank the tongue up. Once laces were tied everything stayed in place. I bought that pair for 40% off online and warrantied through local shop who said I'd only be entitled to the product cost in store credit, not price I paid which I was totally fine with. They called me back a few weeks later and said Ride had decided to send me a brand new pair of 2021s which I was stoked with. I'll ride this pair until they die, then purchase a new pair from that shop granted they have some in stock, otherwise online I go!
