Footwear of the Day

[johnniegold]

I surprised myself today. I picked entirely the wrong shoe for the job, and got away with it.

The task was 2.1/2 hour travel (each way) to a hospital appointment. Each journey consisted of walk, 1st bus, walk, light rail, walk, 2nd bus, walk, with each walk being 10 to 15 minutes. Like a moron, I left the house in these, instead of well cushioned "mile clocker" shoes.

I only realised I'd pocked the wrong shoe for five hours of walking and public transport, after it was too late to turn back. There was a nasty hill climb at the end of the outbound journey, which put more strain on my knees than I'd have liked, but otherwise they coped rather well. I wouldn't normally go much more than a mile in these shoes.

The truest indicator of a shoe’s comfort is forgetting you have them on.

What "mile clocker"shoes should you have worn?

What "mile clocker"shoes should you have worn?

One of these, which all have the support and cushion to comfortably get me where I need to be, without any undue strain on feet, knees, or lower back.

My knees might remember, tomorrow...

Gray slacks,

As dark as charcoal or light?

Lighter than Charcoal. If I am at that end of the spectrum, I still go black or cordovan.

A brief question for those of you with a lot more experience than me. Besides wearing my new Myrqvist to scuff the soles for less slippage. Anything that I can do? Please and thank you .
