My shaums have lasted 6 years so far. Generally a good pair of shoes or boots should last you 5 years minimum if constantly worn. And that is just considering the soles, which can be redone in virtually all goodyear/blake/storm welted footwear.

My status as a father, while it has been contended, cannot be legally proven and is therefore invalid.

That sort of looks like the floor of my apt, Chank, but alas it is not. Nor do I actually have sandal-colored socks to wear with my sandals, although I do have some marcus garvey socks, because cultural appropriation shouldn't just be for hip teenagers.


Yeah I have some bean boots that I've had for like 7 or 8 years that haven't shown much signs of degradation yet.

Double also I'm definitely looking into some sandals because I've just had to repair mine and even though I strongly believe in the power of Gorilla Glue some things just aren't meant to last.
