Actually, I only buy a really good pair of walking shoes once every two years. By “good,” I mean shoes which support my arch, do not rub against my instep, can do a good eight hours on the pavement, and are “cute.” These shoes are a rare commodity. I had them once, years ago, and I am forever trying to relive that purchase.
Thus, I go backwards in my assessment. The pair I purchased today is first and foremost “cute,” and they do the other necessary requirements as a secondary benefit. But really, they do not rub against my stupid instep, and the arch support is amazing! I hope walking in them for eight hours a day justifies the substantial amount of dollars I doled out. They really are cute!
Shoes are weird. My feet are weird. Wondrous is when the twain shall meet.
Do share, for are we not all on that same quest for the perfect walking shoe?
Sofft….and they may be returning to their store!
