As a bit of therapy, I confess I have a thing about Crocs shoes. And just semi-retired a pair I've worn DAILY at least 9 months of the year (with socks in the winter of course) that lasted 4 years and they cost about $45 including tax back then. Over 48 months, that's less than $1 per month for almost year round blissful comfort! They went through hiking, boating, walking on asphalt 2 or 3 times a day through COVID, gardening and yard projects... you name it. Slave to fashion NOT of course, but comfy.
Even better, they had a separate tougher sole insert that's worn down, but still useful so they live on now as yard and painting shoes. The baddassity is finding a brand new pair almost the same at Nordstrom Rack for $37... Just reduced the cost of happy feet to less than $1 per month!
