As we type I'm sitting in a cafe in central London. I agree. Was looking for good repairable shoes on the weekend. El. Oh. El. Back to shoes that break every 6 months for me!
It helps that I have a partner who also makes money. If she didn't I wouldn't be here at all.
- sotojuan 10y agoWhy not just get some low mid tier shoes like Clarks? I spent 3 years of high school with one pair of Clarks boots—they died shortly after graduation. Never had them repaired. The second pair lasted about 2 years since I moved to a city where you walked way more. Definitely worth it.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoRepairable shoes are a lot more difficult to find, depending on where you regularly need the repairs and how 'hard' you are on your shoes. I'd suggest 1) Ask about brands or what to look for in a shoe repair shop. This will narrow brands down 2) Buy a brand that lasts longer than others on your actual feet. So long as I have the funds, I tend to buy Dr Martins - even though folks say they have changed over the years, I can get a few years of wear out of them even with regular to daily use. Before this, my feet would eat a pair every 6 months as well.
