    That’s fair, but my pleather shoes keep leaking after 6 months and I’m mostly trying to figure out how to pick better shoes while engaging in the time tested tradition of trump taunting.

      I just buy Skechers and wear them until they disintegrate, so I dunno. Extra points for alliteration

      Trump taunting aside, Merrell brand boots and shoes are the best. Long wearing and comfortable.

      What’s your preferred style and budget?

        Casual sneakers or ankle-high boots made of brown pleather or a comfortably pliable leather 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.

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

          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.

            I’ve started checking them out. It’s a neat premise, cutting the shoes apart. Thank you!

        I’ve had pleather survive 10+ years in other use cases. It can be hardy and host a decent veneer, albeit rarely.
