I have a pair of maroon Jadons (I think, they’re platforms anyway). They are four years old, have been worn 50-100 days a year, and haven’t been taken care of anywhere near as well as some people baby their boots.

They’re fine. They look as good as the day I bought them and they’re still super comfortable. I think the hate for Docs is mostly bandwagon/dogpiling. No they’re not as good as they used to be, but they are still solid shoes. No, they’re probably not worth it, especially if you get the vegan (plastic) ones, but they’re good looking and can last a long time if you don’t plan on jumping in creeks or running on a sandpaper treadmill.
