I have never had a pair of shoes that could last more than a few years. I’ve even paid for expensive shoes that claimed to be super durable and they fell apart faster than a cheap ass $10 pair from Walmart.
I’m at a point where I have very little hope that anyone, anyone, makes good, comfortable shoes that aren’t made of paper mache.
I watch some artisan videos on youtube and there’s a shit load of skill and tools you’d need. $60 would be more than fair
