After buying a $70 pair of Vans at famous footwear and having them literally fall apart after using them as daily walking shoes, I’ve realized the quality of shoes overall has gone down over the last decade or so.
I don’t mind if they cost $100 or more, are there medium-light weight walking shoes that can withstand the horrors of walking on pavement? I remember checking out some Ecco shoes at the mall years ago, didn’t pull the trigger as they were almost $300 but the way the construction was described to me it sounds like those could last 5+ years.
What shoes do you have that you wear almost daily (not during the winter), and have had for almost a year but aren’t falling apart?
Sketchers all the way. Went from breaking shoes every 6-7months to 5years.
I love sketchers, and I bought a pair of slip-ons I thought looked nice.
A few months at later I was at work and we responded to an assisted living place for 90+ year old man with cardiac issues. He was … “crotchety”, and kind of a dick. He was also wearing the exact same shoes I had bought.
I’m not sure how I feel about them now.
