Campers are a little pricy but I had a pair last for over 20 years before I retired them and I didn’t actually throw them out, I gave them to my friend’s teenager who thought they were so “retro” she could not believe that I wore them frequently and they didn’t really age. I’m hard shoes too, the inside rear sole of every other shoe wears down pretty quick. My camper’s didn’t wear down like other shoes. So yeah, they are pricy but they are an investment that will last way beyond what you paid.
