i bought my pair off of my last college roommate b4 i graduated and they’re still holding up!! i wear them to the office, and i’ve also worn them to protests, running errands, walks in the park sometimes, formal-ish events. and i’ve never slipped in them!! imo they’re sturdy but still comfy, though you could probably add a thin insole for extra comfort. they work with many outfits and look best with ruffle/scalloped ankle socks, tights, or cute crew socks. attached is a collage i made for this rec of my pair in the wild lol 😌🎀

Ive had these for about 10 years and only retired them last year bc the sole and the leather both completely cracked. Have climbed mountains in these, wore them practically everyday (even in summer) and will still wear them on nights out (the spilled beer on the floor keeps me from slipping) (last picture is from 2017, yes I did not take good care of them, but they still lasted me ages)

i got these in february of 2023 for my birthday and they have been worn almost everyday since. they’re the perfect shoes for hiking, work, shopping trip, literally anything ever. i wear a lot of earthy tones so they essentially match all of my outfits. they’ve survived being left out overnight in a storm and they’re still just fine sooooo. also they’re insanely comfy and easy to slip on. literally the best shoes ever buy them right now

it’s a long haul, but I have a pair of doc martins loafers that are finally comfortable for all day wear. I’ve been wearing them on and off for over a year but they’re at a point now where my feet feel good and I genuinely look forward to putting them on cause they’re so comfy! It took many blisters but I think it was very worth it. Now to focus on my Mary Jane’s 🥴 want to have them ready to go by summer but the leather is much stiffer and they’re still causing some pain

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
