I buy trail walking shoes. When I buy regular runners, they will often be beyond repair within a year. But my trail walking shoes have been going strong for 18 months and they still look half decent.

These new shoes that are fabric based, Skechers, et al, nowadays are crap. They last about three months with me..................

Great tip! I usually have two pair of tennies going at any given time.

One is for gardening and barn work, the other is ‘Presentable in Public’ for running errands, actual WALKING, etc.

When the ‘Presentable in Public’ shoes are too ratty, they go to the garden/barn and I invest in a new pair. I like New Balance.

Though, your suggestion makes me think I’d get even more mileage out of trail walkers. Thanks! :)

I’m male, when a man is single you would be surprised how comfortable shoes, favorite shirts, bath towels, and a lot of other things never really wear out.
