The Vans are out (lemmy.world)

I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

I live in Seattle. My replacement period is when water comes through the bottom.

Sounds about right. I realized I never check the bottom of my shoes until something happens.
