      They were JUST discontinued. Or not in season. Or replaced with a newer inferior model. Or no longer anyone available in your size. Or they just don’t sell that model any longer, and the closest shop that has them is in a small village south in France and they don’t do mail orders.

      I hate shoe shopping.

          Yes but no. You have to wear them, they crack if you don’t use them for a long time.

        Check vinted or other secondhand websites, if you are lucly, you might get them in almost new conditions for cheaper than retail:)

        Yeah, same for me. Vans doesn’t seem to like making leather or suede slip-ons anymore.

    I used to be the same way with those shoes when I was younger… Nowadays, I just bought a new pair of (classic black) crocs after 8+ years of use - same color, same everything, except one size larger.

    Finding a nice good pair of shoes is hard. New ones won’t feel the same.
