Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I work in an office and still go through one or two pairs a year. I got fucking tired of it and used some of my privilege to get a pair of leather sneakers. I'm hoping they last. So far they're holding up pretty well. I can even get them resoled when needed. Just need a little more care, wipe them off every day and use leather conditioner every once in a while. And use a shoe horn...
