Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I bought a pair of AllBirds because people I knew raved about them and at how long the lasted, etc. So I bought some for $200 thinking they'd last forever. Literally within 3 months of walking the soles started wearing thin. Now granted, I was walking a lot, but I wasn't running, hiking or anything else. Just walking.
Now after a year I'm wearing through the first outer friction layer. I have a pair of sketcher's walkers that the soles are great for, but they don't look as nice.
There have been a lot of instances where I got shoe recommendations that then turned in to "oh, they don't make them like the used to." But they still cost more.
Yeah, I hate shoes.
