I’m not sure I was disagreeing with you in the previous statement

Then don't repeat things I explicitly mentioned, as if I said something else?

Also get better examples. Brooks break down as easy as Asics, Saucony, whatever. They are exactly the "single use" product I spoke about, making the shoe and clothing industry in general highly non carbon neutral, which was my point.

it isn’t exactly easy to find good shoes unless you invest a lot of money into them

Yes, it's called the Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

You could blame that on car-dependency

I don't blame that on anything but capitalism.
