that can go with a variety of outfits. Not those specifically, it’s just immensely difficult to find pics online these days. I’d go up to 150 for shoes that I can actually wear for a few years. Any tips on seeing material defects would be immensely helpful after an unexaggerated decade of short-lived shoes I’m too stubborn to let die.
Rose Anvil on YouTube does tear-downs of boots to show what brands have quality materials and good support versus what are just garbage. Recommend looking though his videos.
Why wouldn’t they be manufactured as cheaply as possible? The entire point is the grift.

Trump taunting aside, Merrell brand boots and shoes are the best. Long wearing and comfortable.
I just buy Skechers and wear them until they disintegrate, so I dunno. Extra points for alliteration
I second alliteration
Alliteration’s always adored
Astounding
I second Sketchers, hard to find wide shoes that fit to begin with.
Skechers are so damn comfortable and they last.
My first pleather shoes were skechers and they died after 3 months, sadly. :’(
Bah that sucks!
I’ve been wearing Skechers for a good 20 years now. I buy a new pair maybe every 3 years and they’re cheap, so that’s fine.
What’s your preferred style and budget?

I really hate shoes with pointy ends. It squeezes your big toe out of shape and can give you bunions.

I’ve started checking them out. It’s a neat premise, cutting the shoes apart. Thank you!
Pleather is a terrible material in basically every way possible
I’ve had pleather survive 10+ years in other use cases. It can be hardy and host a decent veneer, albeit rarely.
