princejongins asked: It seems like you strongly recommend Underground Creepers for their good quality and I've seen a lot of people say that they last them quite long. On estimate, how long do you think Underground Creepers would last if worn on a daily basis, or quite often?
I really don’t know if I can answer this. There were times I wore my underground creepers every day but never for long because I go through style phases and just wear one kind of shoes now and then again for a length of time.
I wouldn’t recommend you wearing them for reaaaaally long walks because your feet will hate you for it at some point.
For wearing them often I’d say they will last over a year, depending on how you treat them and what kind of creepers you get, like if it’s a single or double sole creepers because double soles bend less easy than one soles so the connection between the shoe and the sole gets worn down faster. which is not a sign of bad quality (at least if it keeps some month to get loose) but is just normal imho.
of if you get creepers with buckles or to bind, buckles get loose with time, too if you make them real tight around your foot (does this make sense) and the same with your laces, the little .. things (?) that connect your laces to the shoe may stretch out a bit over time if it’s bad quality. I can’t say anything about that with underground because I got black suede creepers with buckles but my t.u.k creepers with laces stretched out and one even ripped the first day because it got stuck in an escalator.
otherwise I would recommend to not wear them to heavy concerts because people will step on them and you might fall and shit and if you get plain leather ones in white they will get really dirty.
I hope this answers your question at least to some extend (though I realize that I talked about that only for 1/5 of this post) and if you got any more questions just shoot ‘em my way.
