1 year ago+1 for Ecco shoes. I worked at a large hotel and conference center for several years, so lots of walking (10-15k steps on average, I’d say), and I had to wear a suit. I can’t remember what shoes I wore when I got that job, but when I switched to Eccos, there was a noticeable improvement in comfort and way less foot pain by the end of the day. Game changer for me. Also, a bit of polish once or twice a week, and they looked great for years.
The interior did fall apart faster than 9 years for me though. Probably more like 2-3 years. I’m also assuming I wore mine and walked more in them than most.
Kudos! I think I would have ended up skimming it quite a bit if I had read it, but I went with the audio book instead in that instance. I will say, the audio book is a full cast and very entertaining. I would recommend it if you ever wanted to go through the story a second time.
