    @superfly4201 this should be enough to close this thread down. Sorry I’m having to lay this much heat on you at once…… but sometimes it hurts to learn. #BAM
    Lock this bitch down @SlyPokerDog !

    Of course the one guy I thought would know and be able to help is completely worthless. Now I know how your wife feels when I'm gone and she's forced to be with you.

    I don't wear pants. Just shoes and socks.

    Allbirds Tree Runner is overrated, from my experience. It's a great minimalistic looking casual sock-free shoe, actually comfy for running quick errands. . . but not for extended period of use. The sole is non-existent my feet hurt from walking all day.

    Adidas Ultraboost however, any version, is topnotch, super versatile and comfortable

    Was rocking Hokas for the past couple of years, and they initially were great shoes if you were on your feet all day. But over time they started to make my feet go in directions they didn't want to go (the Clifton series is for people who actually have good arches). The last road trip I was in serious misery. So I did some research and discovered Nike recently came out with a new shoe geared mostly for walking; The Motiva. Very high stack that takes some getting used to but my foot pain disappeared in less than two days and I haven't felt this good on my daily walks in years. Just amazing how much shock they absorb. The Motivas won't last much more than 3-4 months if you walk daily but they're a great shoe and not terribly expensive. I'm not a sneaker head, but if anyone is looking for a good walking shoe, I highly recommend the Motivas.

    If I don't have work boots on, I'm in my Hey Dudes pretty much exclusively. Need to update my current pair. I'm about to wear a hole through the soles.

    I really loved a pair of Adidas James Harden's that I thought would outwear all my other kicks but alas....before the soles were even worn, the plastic in the soles just decomposed and cracked off instead of wearing out. Going back to my old Air Jordans and looks like I'll buy them again next pair....I wanted Adidas to be the shoe ..disappointed. The Addidas were great until they just crapped out all at once.
