Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Depends on the type of shoe, and manufacturers. Louis Vuitton generally use better materials, but often the knock offs aren't too much worse, similar with a lot of fashion shoes. That is excepting stuff like traditional dress shoes, which often do require a skilled craftsman to make. The most pronounced difference however, is generally in work boots. Expensive work boots are usually expensive because they use better materials and longer lasting designs. Knockoffs usually don't last very long in comparison because they don't use good materials and skim in areas that affect longevity.
It matters for everyday wear, too. Properly maintained, shoes can last generations. 9 was gifted Italian-made shoes from the 1940s from an elderly person. I gifted them to someone else after about 20 years.
Eta about 60 years between 2 of us, idk how long after that. I moved.
