Shoes...

Post Reply New Topic

My choices aren't in the list... Most times I wear tall steel toe work boots (Timberland or Wolverine) , or when I'm just going into town or hanging out, I'll wear skater shoes.

NEVER barefoot; not even in the house, and I rarely wear flip flops unless I'm going to swim or maybe to go outside during the night to check on the water, or something quick. I don't want to be one of those people with black heels that we have to see sometimes, wearing horribly worn-out sandals. Makes me feel as if I'm going to be sick to see that...

Here's my shoes.

Anything relatively flat footed, although I prefer trainers. Shoes are usually a starting point for an argument in my house, the good old "you can't wear X shoes to Y!" I really don't see the problem, nobody stares at me feet anyway :p

I like waterproof trainers best, because I hate wet feet. Also, the situation changes if there might be sand, I have to wear boots or Wellies, anything that will keep sand out. It's a nightmare with sand in your shoes.

I like Vans probably the most, at least my $3 knockoff ones from Walmart clearance. Converse are good, but they're a narrower fitting shoe, whereas Vans are better for my wider feet. But, I like shoes with thin soles, they give me better ground feel, and my feet hurt less in them. I recently got a pair of New Balance running shoes, and because they're foam soled, my feet compress them if I'm weightlifting in them, but even just walking in them, I for some reason get mild plantar fasciitis and arch pain that I don't get in shoes like my Vans and Converse with no arch support. Oddly, according to the Dr. Scholl's foot pressure thing for their $50 heel insert things, I'm the highest level, and need tons of arch support and whatever, but my feet feel best in "unsupportive" shoes like the Vans/etc. Also, as much as I love the look of hightops, it's the same sorta deal, my ankles start giving me problems when I wear hightops for some reason.

However, I do like boots, especially work boots, and my current boots are USGI desert boots, like what was used in Iraq and Afghanistan (I think they're getting phased out, not entirely sure.) Those boots are cool, as they're speed lace, and basically the bottom part of the boot feels like, a boot, and the top is light and made of nylon, so they're almost as fast to run in as sneakers. Not bad at all.

Added those for you!

Once the poll has been started only a moderator can change it - plus, there's a limit to the number of options (16, I think).
It's really just a very basic "Choose 1 of N" polling system so not particularly flexible.

Converses unless I'm going to jog, then some sneakers/tennis shoes.

Salomon XA Comp basically just shoes for hiking sweet to walk around in and keeps my feet dry no matter what
The only thing more comfy is my Salomon boots xD

I wear flip-flops or just socks around the house, although sometimes I use those gardening shoes, usually blue, with holes all around. WHen there is snow I wear snow boots that sort of look like the climbing ones, otherwise I take turns between chuck taylors and sneakers, or flats when I dress up.
