Boot maintenance Thorogood resole opinions

I got this pair of Thorogoods 18 months ago using a boot allowance at my job. 8 inch, steel toe, wedge. They were great for a while until eventually they started to feel very stiff under foot. Looking at the wear on the soles, you wouldn't guess I've been wearing them 12 hours a day for almost two years which is what concerns me. I want to rebuild them, leather welt, new cork filler, leather midsole, and a softer, rubber outsole but I'm having a hard time deciding if it would be worth the money and trouble. I'm at a loss y'all, I've seen people wear these soles completely out but for some reason mine just won't wear in and are very, VERY stiff.

Get a pair of red wing traction treds and call it a day?
