i’ve had my current pair for two years (i think?) and at this point they’re completely trashed. for the first year i wore them almost every day, and it shows. quite literally busting at the seams. the pic doesn’t even show the full extent of the damage. when i bend my foot, the fabric rips. there are knots in the laces that cannot be undone. the soles are so worn down that i can feel every little pebble on the ground as i walk. terrible arch support, but i don’t care. i love my converse :)
