For practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last.

I have never had a pair of shoes that could last more than a few years. I've even paid for expensive shoes that claimed to be super durable and they fell apart faster than a cheap ass $10 pair from Walmart.

I'm at a point where I have very little hope that anyone, anyone, makes good, comfortable shoes that aren't made of paper mache.

My first thought is wooden shoes like clogs or those Japanese sandals. Of course neither of those are practical. The only BFL shoes I can think of would be made of some hard inflexible material which would be very uncomfortable. I think leather would provide the best wear. I used to exclusively wear adidas sambas. They'd last a few years with the only real issue being the souls getting worn out. Now I have steel toed boots for work which are a whole other level of wear.
