RIP my $50 Land's End Archer Classic Buck (2012-2023)

I wore them 4x a week for over a decade.
In 2021, when the soles separated, I crazy glued them back.
But they came apart again and I decided to retire them.

I ordered a spare backup pair back in 2013 for $70
Each year, I could not believe the original pair was still going strong.
I've been storing the backup pair for over a decade and now it's time to unbox them.
Had I ordered a 3rd pair, it would have taken me into retirement.

Here is to another 10 years on the $70 pair!

Going strong means different things to different people. You should upload pictures of the shoes in question.

I find your thoughts quite intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

also, how are the shirt collars that you put CVS tape on doing?

also, how are the shirt collars that you put CVS tape on doing?

It was cloth tape.
I have not worn a collar in over a decade.
Collars are for wage slaves.
