It must be the shoes!
The family heirloom: skateboard shoes?
Seriously, nothing is better than skateboarding shoes. If you buy a pair of skateboarding shoes and don't skateboard, it will be the last pair of shoes you will ever buy...ever. Skateboarding shoes are designed to withstand a constant scraping motion along a highly abrasive surface while hundreds of pounds (body weight) are applied in the oposite direction of that abrasive surface. Now take these facts into consideration and apply them on a daily basis and you have a shoe that is torn to pieces right? Wrong, my mom made me throw out my original skateboarding shoes still in good condition (6 year old shoes skated every day) presumable because she couldnt take the fact that she was so incredibly wrong in her original suggestion that i should have bought nike's. I mean skate shoes are tough, but its not like some are made with kevlar, the stuff bullet proof vests are made from...oh wait, they are.

wow, this is amazing. i've been looking for a pair of DC's. not just any DC's, but the same exact one's that i bought one year ago- and still wear to this day. i'm never gonna buy another type of shoe. skating shoes rock! (even if you don't skate)
everybody stop what you're doing and go buy a pair of DC skating shoes. it's like 60 bucks, and it will last you all year. no joke. i actually hiked the grand canyon twice with these shoes! and stepped in a lot of... well lets not go there.
