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?
Oh theve definitely gone down in quality. I used to skate hard on a pair of half cabs and they would last a year. Now I walk on them and within 6 months I got holes in the rubber. Absolutely quality has gone down as part of the planned obsolescence maximize profit plan.
Need to find a company that doesn’t suck cause these vans have turned to shit
