The Vans are out (lemmy.world)

I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

They gave their years to you.

I bought them two years ago, and barely broke them in. I put them to serious work this year. They were still new, but they did put in the work.
