I wear Crocs everywhere except for the few times I need to wear a suit. Resoling a pair of Alden's is easily 100 to 200 bucks whether to do it through the factory or through a cobbler. So no savings there.

Interesting. Im extremely hard on shoes so maybe its just me but I quit buying vans because I just would utterly destroy them in a year. My anecdata and your anecdata disagree. They need shoe reliability studies like they have with cars.

I wear a suit maybe once every five years though. Like the rest of my life I could wear either Alden or crocs....and I do. You pick one extreme edge case.

Better in this case is durability and there's no way of BMW is more durable than a Toyota Corolla and that is objective.

this is false. people wear Aldens all the time and people wear crocs all the time to all kinds of different functions and events.

Every pair of vans I bought fell apart in a year. I think they used to be quality back in the day before they got popular and shipped their manufacturing overseas. I've never seen a homeless person in vans but that's just me.

you should write a blog post or something about it. I don't find it very prophetic but would like to hear other people's opinions.

I think 3.3% of all Canadian deaths were from MAID which is around 10000 deaths last year. Im worried at some point in the future this will become the practical alternative to spending money on social support safety nets like food banks and

Fair warning. I have not found Crocs to be particularly arch supportive. there may be a specific model though that I'm not aware of that. has added arch support.

I did that for a while. Resoling is $150 or more which is more than a normal pair of shoes costs.

Furniture is INSANE! Ive never felt like I was in a more skeezy situation than mattress shopping.

Agree. Theres alot of factors involved in buying anything. So we need to stop acting like we have great wisdom for "Paying more for quality" when in reality status and fashion had as much to do with the purchase as well.

by nerdchum 3y ago
In human society its arguable that fashion is a tool of communication. At least thats how I have to justify it to myself because I hate being forced to participate in it but we all are constantly being judged on how we look.

Oh completely agree. My beef is with this smug patronizing attitude rich people have like theyre wise for buying expensive things that will last longer and the rest of us peons should learn from these wise sages. When thats not the case at

Yeah completely agree that price is decoupled from quality nowadays and it's pretty random. Price seems to be based a lot more on marketing and brand saturation than quality. And quality brands get bought up all the time and the new co

I think a lot of times this philosophy is just rich people justifying paying a lot for high status items. a pair of Crocs is 50 bucks and that's one of the highest quality pairs of shoes you'll buy for the price. you could buy 10

I wish I had been learning a trade at a young age instead of wasting my time farting around with friends. Even if I went into a different profession any trade is very useful.

Antibiotic resistant tuberculosis is pretty terrifying though. One untreatable TB infection causes 15 new ones and those 15 new ones cause 15 new ones each? In a pandemic population size macro sense that's huge and exponential.
