They are super comfortable & wont phase out of the trend cycle like a samba, for example. I mean they are straight from the 60s! My last pair have lasted me 6 years until recently when the soles began to crack.
In my attempts to commit to less material consumption this year, it seems counterintuitive to post about buying new shoes but hear me outβ I have been returning to the idea of buying what I know I like instead of what I might like and trying only to buy when I need.
