I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

This makes me soooooo mad. These shoes used to be be at Zellers and last for fucking ever. I can wear a set of these down in a couple months just like you have. Used to have two colour choices too, red or blue.

My last pair tore in just a few months of offiice work, I'm not buying vans anymore.

Yeah, quality build wise was also wanting. I noticed the seams between the fabric and the rubber start peeling.
