New Balance 624v2

[Novak]

meh, i think you are trying to hard with these.
Are you old? Are you young? oh your some tweener who loves workboots and faggy pastel colors. Pick one man. This loafer looks like my construction boots fucked my Easter Basket.

They're just shoes buddy, I didn't mean to upset you.

I'll let Ralph know u prefer your crisp New Balances.

500 miles?

I’ve always been told 250, which means I have about 30 miles left on my current crop.

Gotta love ppl calling out old timers for wearing boring (comfortable) shoes, followed by a comment that “Chuck Taylors go with everything “.

Good lord.

Chuck Taylors look equally out of place and juvenile with everything , I’ll give you that. ?

 

[Novak]

Ooooof, that's pretty dad

Depends on the shoe. I've had hyper minimal trail shoes like the Merrell Bare Access(no longer made) last for nearly 500 miles. I've seen some Skora's last for nearly 1,000. The more minimal and the better the sole(Vibram does great stuff) they tend to last longer.

Heavily cushioned shoes tend to break down faster and for those you're looking more in the 250 mile range. Kinvara's are great shoes and I usually get about 300 miles out of them. Really depends how much stress you're putting on the shoe and if you're taking care of them correctly.

You can't reason with people who wear jorts and new balances, they've obviously given up at this point.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

Wife lets you wear those in public?

Style points awarded if jorts have the little tool pouch on the side.

Because people who wear jorts have little tools

I use the Brook's Ghosts. I've always been told about 250 miles, which for me is about 6-8 months. I have seen those Kinvara's, which I might try out, but I've seen my times fall and I'm pretty finicky about these things.

cause they are more comfortable and cooler and you can cross rivers and marshes and stuff without having to wear wet shoes.

not hippy shit, but are big with the outdoor adventure type crowd. climbers and backpackers and raft guides and people that wear patagonia and mountain hardware and kuhl and shit like that. They originally came out the Colorado climbing and rafting scene and were made there for a long time.

They also last forever and can be re-soled like boots. I've had my current pair for 9 years and have re-soled them twice. They have more support and stability than hiking shoes. They feel awesome to wear, confidence to tromp around like you are wearing a full boot, but light and cool.

I love them so much, I never stopped to think about how they look. Guess they might look dumb but I am too used to them now to be able to tell.

thank god the rubric we use to judge shit has nothing to do with whether you've heard of it before or understand it.
