The sacrifice for shoes (lowkey vent)

Everything that is being sold by reliable companies is so basic these days, they're all too afraid to come up with unique ideas simply because it would only cater to a smaller demographic, instead they just create a block on heels and call it a day. All the cute shoes are terrible in quality because they're labeled as costume shoes that are meant to be worn once a century, you barely walked in them and the soles already come off. Out the window are your 200€ new rocks because you got them wet. Does anyone have some brands to recommend because I'm not willing to invest my life savings in super glue
