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?
What do you do that wore out a pair of Vans in a year? Every pair I’ve had has lasted 3+ years.
Mine got destroyed within 6 months of using. I walk a lot, bike from time to time with them, but never any extreme stuff. The stitching on the left sides of my shoes are practically gone, showing the insole from the outside… I guess it depends on which shoe you get from vans, since I am certain I’ve had pairs last longer than this.
