The bottom is all scratched up thought and it looks like the threading is about to fall off. Will this last??

yes, you should have gotten the other ones, but based on your posts, this must be your first pair of shoes with leather soles.

they wear...period.

the fraying stitching is normal, to be expected, and due to the way its stitched, not a problem.

the upper is the same as any other.

you could treat leather soles for some waterproofing, but most people just let them wear without any other care (aside from some edge dressing as needed).
