I’ve had good luck with Keens. Their sandals are comfortable, the soles last forever. Even their winter boots have nigh-indestructible soles. And that’s accounting for the way I walk. Was given LL Bean boots once. The heels wore through halfway through the first winter I wore them.

it’s true, my Keen sandals are holding up even though I wear them pretty much daily May-September, 2 years now My Kuru Chelsea boots were absolutely shot after 2 winters of daily wear but I’m buying them again because good arch support that doesn’t look ugly AF

(I doubt Shiv wanted this to be a recommendation thread but) I’m on like year 8 of a pair of Carolinas, I walk absolutely everywhere and pre-pandemic I did production in venues, so, hanging from ceilings and the like. l
