Shoes that dont wear out and start falling apart after a year?
Shoes that dont wear out and start falling apart after a year?
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?

Doc Martens
And bluntstones
Tbh feel like Docs have gone down in quality over the past few years, a pair of them wore out for me in 2 years when I was a Chef. Granted I was on my feet all the time!
Docs have this image of an honest and durable working boot, but now they're more like sneakers.
I've even had a pair where a big toe stuck right through the midsole into the air pocket. And this was a week after getting them.
You might have more luck with their "made in England" shoes, but in that price range there are other alternatives. If you like the look, check out Solovair.
