Basically the title. Any price range. Any geographical range. I just want to see what exists out there.

Bonus point if the shoes have a noteworthy high platform that ’ lifts’ the sneakers off the ground

Extra bonus points if the majority of the sneakers is made out of rubber or leather (or should I just start looking for custom made duck boots?)

Extra extra bonus points if the sneakers can be shipped to canada

Extra extra extra bonus points if anyone recommends a company that sells snow proof sneaker b oots thatt fit all of this criteria.

Thanks. 🫂

Edit: Also I forgot to add that high or low weight footwear doesnt matter to me. Ive walked 20KM in boots that weighed like 5 or 7 pounds combined like it was nothing. Ill wear anything of any weight that either fits my criteria or that protects me feet frkm the elements.

    You’ll need the Shoe of Theseus if your looking for one that lasts 30 years.

    It’ll have to be made from full grain leather and have a welt. This will allow a cobbler to replace components.

    Modern(athletic not fashion) sneakers are made to be worn for 300-500 miles. That is the life of the glues, foams and synthetic materials.

    I know there have been brands in the past that have made sneakers this way but they are fashion/luxury/lifestyle versions. Not sneakers that are actually made for exercise.

    Edit: I found these. They might be the ones I remember reading about.

    That brand also makes these but they might not be welted.
