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?
Yea, skate shoes in general are pretty tough. I have a pair of vans that I have had around at least for a few years that are still completely usable to me. They have a small hole on the top of them, but I use them for skating and walking around town.
I’m wondering if their quality has gone down recently, or what. Vans skate shoes, especially the pro model ones, are pretty hard to wear down quickly from my experience. The only people I see that normally go through them quickly skate all the time.
