minus-square@Lost_My_Mindlink4•1 month agoI push people in wheelchairs for a living. I roughly walk 6-10 miles a day. My shoes are 2-3 years old, and literally falling apart. And I’ll keep wearing them until a week AFTER they fall apart! I got duct tape!
minus-square@papalonianlink6•1 month agoUhh, ok, weird flex, but like… why? And you seem so proud of it too…
minus-square@Todaylink4•1 month agoGood shoes are important. Protect your feet, knees, and back. You’ll thank yourself for it one day.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoAh, you should check out Terry Pratchett. One of his characters in his discworld series had a good theory on this Vime’s boots theory

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•30 days agoIf you can find a consignment store for used outdoor gear, many hiking shoes are strurdy. Get low-tops unless you want knee problems down the line. Learn to pad the insoles with foam so you can make them just for you, and easily alter them if things change.
