i can buy 3 merrell barefoot shoes instead of 1 ahinsa 😯
Merrell is too sporty to look nice with most casual clothes imo and their barefoot shoes only last ~3 mo. with daily use in my experience. I do like them for a lightweight camp/river shoe for hiking!
i have gloves i use daily in the winter under the rain, on a bike with metal quills and this will be their 3rd winter.
i don't know what you may mean by "casual" but they make unicolor versions that don't look sporty
what do you do to wear them down in just a couple of months?
Are yours still reasonably presentable? I’ve had a two pairs of vaporgloves and they both got this sort of “hairy” texture on the uppers really quickly just with regular use running errands and commuting and such. I think it’s the sort of plastic mesh material they use that is breaking down. They’re still functional for camping or jogging but I wouldn’t wear them to the bar.
My Ahinsas on the other hand still look -nice- with no separation of the uppers from the soles and virtually no fading 5 years after purchase, 3 of which they were my daily wears. Now the inner lining is breaking down and feels weird without thick socks but they still look great!
