I’ve been wearing Hokas for the last year, and I love them, and they are super comfortable, but I’m not sure how durable the uppers are turning out to be, and I’m wondering if maybe I want some variety in terms of styling and what not. And if they were more durable, I would not complain. EDIT: I should have specified they are the Hoka Kaha boots, and I want another pair of boots, because I want the ankle support. FURTHER EDIT: preferably under $300 unless they are god-tier or something!

I’ve found sketchers to be great. I wear wide and double wide, and they always fit to size.

[–] Jtee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yup, Sketchers.

Make sure to grab a wide fit

I don't want to crap on you for your recommendation, I do have Skechers myself

I'm not sure what it's like in your region, but the quality of Skechers has dropped to the point where you might as well just burn your money

Sketchers as a daily shoe lasts me about 4 months. I like the fit and comfort, but their durability is terrible. Sometimes it’s the outer parts just coming unglued, many times it’s the padding inside wearing through despite my thick socks.

Weird. I wonder if quality is regional. I have a pair of Skechers sneakers I’ve had since 2023 that are still in goods shape, as well as a pair of boots from 2022. The sneakers are kinda worn at this point, but not to the point they need replacement yet. And I’m not exactly easy on my stuff, I live in a rural area and the terrain is rock and soil mostly.
