i think i got them when i started high school or my second year of highschool
wore them the whole four/five years i had them and in the end i had the sole ripped off
it really went through a lot !!
the saddest part of them dying was when i couldn't jump into puddles to splash my friends since my socks would likely get wet but yeah it was a fun ride with those shoes

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 :)

been a big fan of using things down to the last drop, especially clothing which our culture increasingly is treating as disposable. i've had these sneakers for like 7 years. they survived hot texas pavement you could fry an egg on while i was working at summer camp, carried me on plenty of hikes, survived getting submerged in salt water in connecticut, and lived most of their golden years in the trunk of my car as the forever on-call backup shoes. their last act of service to me was walking me three miles home after the chain snapped on my bike. by the time the midsole peeled off just now, the treads on the soles had been almost completely worn flat. time to get some new sneakers and grind them to dust for 7 years. thanks for the arch support, New Balance 574s 🫡

the danskos are the only ones id rec as they’ve actually held up.
The flats are from target when I was in 5th grade in 2006 and they still go with everything and don’t have holes yet.
Middle is my 8th (2009) grade laceless conversethat were my gym shoes for my powerlifting phase despite no longer being waterproof.
Last is my first pair of danskos from freshman year in college in 2014 and I still wear them to work on a weekly basis.
I have many more geriatric crumbling shoes but these are just the ones I’ve worn recently lmao
