Might sound crazy, but do you think these are wearable? I personally wear everything I buy, but I don't want to be walking on asphalt after 7 steps lol
Honestly brother, when you buy shoes of that vintage you're almost always better off buying a lightly worn pair. It allows the foam to compact and compress and stay in that bonded position over the years. Unworn pairs can be brittle and porous - hence the cracking and powdering. I would wear them lightly around the house for about an hour before doing any kind of major wears. Wear them for about an hour every other day or so just to get the foam to compact slowly. It's still a 50/50 but you barely paid anything for the shoes.
