Long lasting sneakers or similar shoes? - eviltoast

Am also looking for sneakers to get for the following seasons:

  • grey ones for summer
  • black ones for spring/autumn

But I’m virtually clueless when it comes to fashion + they should be available in the EU

    I bought a pair of Adidas sneakers (no clue thrle name). They looked like the ultra boost series but without the special™ shoe sole (I think they are no longer being produced).

    I bought them in 2012, and wore them in death valley, in the snow in Slovakia, as running shoes in the Forrest and more or less daily for ~8 years. And they still hold up.

    Now the Ultra boost Adidas are crooked after ½ year.

      yeah, unfortunately big brands (like Nike, Adidas and even Docmartens sadly enough TwT) nowadays just means discounter quality with a markup, unless you want to pay min. twice as much for higher quality stuff when compared to “smaller” companies

      but ofc all those smaller companies are either getting bought up or run into bankruptcy by larger ones. Suchis late stage capitalism ig…

      (btw I love the gay toggle on your website >w<)
