    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.

      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

      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.
