My daily slip ons used for work and school lasted for 4 years
Years casually. Or if your me and walk literally kilometers a day about 6 months 😊
Longest I’ve had a pair was 5 years
Have had a pair of high tops for 4 years now and worn roughly but casual like daily beaters. Smooth leather definitely ages better than fabric tho
Casually? They should last for years and years if stored properly.
Wont they crumble?
Shoes only crumble when not worn for years.
They’re shoes, not cookies.
Well jordans crumble but they’re not cookies
How are you maintaining them? It’s true that the leather will dry out and stuff…after a decade plus, mostly. Haven’t owned any that long, tho
i had sk8 his that did fall apart but it took about 7 or 8 years
Vans aren’t made the same way so they shouldn’t crumble, most are just canvas and rubber. You may find a crunchy insoles, but that’s easy enough to replace
If worn casually they won’t crumble. It’s from years of no compression… sitting in box not on foot
if you wear them, no. i’ve had pairs that i’ve worn near daily for 5+ years that were fine.
Years.
There is a pair in my garage that I bought 15 years ago. Still totally wearable. Pairs I wear all the time, 2 or 3 years. Don’t skate anymore.
i’ve gotten a year out of Classics being daily worn, and double that of the Pro/skate line used everyday in the gym
up to a few decades, possibly longer.
Idk, my vans have been poor quality lately. But you’ll get a couple years out of them at least. Just make sure to buy them from a Vans store cause some of the other stores sell cheaper versions. Also if you get the “pro skate” ones they’ll be more comfortable.
If I wear Era or Authentic and walk every day, I find I need to replace them every 6 months. More casually used ones last for years in my experience.
I had a pair of Mid 106 last me for 8 years as work and casual shoes. They’d still be on my feet but I went through a depressive phase of throwing out everything. If you can find a pair of those buy them. The real ones, not those knock-offs from Amazon. Of all the common Vans styles I’ve worn Sk8-Hi Pro lasted the longest. 2 1/2 years of being a casual shoe before falling apart
My Wards are pretty beat. You’ll probably wear through the sole before the upper. I have some small holes in the upper, no big deal. I’ve had these for a year now, I mountain bike and walk in them, and beat them relentlessly. You’ll prob get a good 2-3+ years from just normal use. These prob still got a good year, plus, left in them before they really start balding. They don’t even look *that* bad. I intend to beat these to the ground!
