Anyone here good with shoes?...
Monday > Buy 65$ pair of "Heavy duty work boots"
Saturday > See snapshot.



Seriously. What the fuck, Are people such pussies now-a-days that even lazy fucks like me can wear out their "Heavy duty" equipment?

So. Does anyone know QUALITY shoes made to last?...

Earth Shoes brand have served me really well. I don't think they offer steel toes shoes however, I'm just assuming you're looking for steel toed. Although it looks like the problem is those are a little bit too big for you, try going down a size or half size and see if the inside gets worn out so quick, that only happens to me if my shoes are too big or I don't lace them up tight enough.

I honestly don't mind lack of a steel toe, I just want something that wont cost me chinese buffet once a week, I will definitely look into some reviews on them

Its some high quality shit offered through alot of companies directly called workz or works shoes, Something like that.

Their slip resistant on just about everything, Steel toe, puncture resistant (IE stepping on a nail) and ect. And are supposed to be extremely high end quality shoes.

Nikes, I being 100% serious.
Ive had a pair of casual nike shoes for 8 months now, and the only problem with them is that the outside looks worn out.
They are also pretty comfortable.

Yeah but how much walking do you do?
All I have heard about Nikes is that they are comfortable and look nice, but fragile as hell.

I walk nearly every day to my school (except when my parents are awake to drive me)
I also walk to lunch and back, and walk home from school most of the time.

And i take walks with my dog down to the beach and shit.

I remember those shit shoes. They tried to sell them to me at a job I had once. Everyone said they fell apart and not to buy them.
Go to Payless or Walmart or something. Every shoe I own is from there and I either bought or was handed down to me from an uncle or my father. Some are over twenty years old and have held up like champs.

My dad does construction and he wears some boots called "Wolverine" or something like that so they must be good because he doesn't buy boots every month.
