After buying a $70 pair of Vans at famous footwear and having them literally fall apart after using them as daily walking shoes, Iโve realized the quality of shoes overall has gone down over the last decade or so.
I donโt 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, didnโt 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 arenโt falling apart?

My answer: I have a pair of Keen boots that I inherited from my late uncle. I donโt know how long he has them, but they were already well-used when I got them. Iโve been wearing them for seven years, and while theyโre no longer waterproof, theyโre still sturdy.
