    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.
