the trouble with footwear
back in april i posted about the shoes i got just 2 years prior coming apart. well about a week ago i glued them back together using stuff called goop. and wore them out a few days ago. so far they're holding up, but they apparently don't squeak any more. not so far at least. but they do creak some though.
but now the boots that i got only last year are coming apart. *head desk* i glued the area where the separation is, but now more of were the sole joins to the main part is separating, so i have to try to fix that.
i know these companies want to make money, but why can't they have stuff that last more than a few (3-4) years? and don't tell me that more expensive shoes last longer, because that's bull. several years ago my brother bought a $70 pair of shoes (on sale from $140) & they only lasted about two years. and he didn't even wear them every day.
