Topic: Your Footwear Posted: July 07 2012 at 15:06 |
What kind of footwear to you guys wear on a common, daily basis? This can be for anything - casual, sports, business, etc. Feel free to post pictures of course. ![Smile Smile](smileys/smiley1.gif) I'm surprised there wasn't a previous thread on shoes, so here it is. ![Party Party](smileys/smiley40.gif) ![](http://macbethshop.com/files/products/1359/medium/MMF10027.001.jpg) Just got a sweet pair of these Madrid model Macbeth's. Really comfortable, perfect fit and they look great. Not a bad price as well - $ 79.99 Canadian. I get a new pair of shoes every single year, and I previously used to always purchase Vans or Converse, but this a great find!

Right now, these: ![](http://www.startfitness.co.uk/uploads/images_products_large/42569.jpg) Asics Gel Kayano 17. They're great shoes for running/exercising and such, and they're comfortable for everyday wear as well.

I usually wear my shoes for five or more years. I currently cut grass in a pair of Nikes that are over ten years old! ![Shocked Shocked](smileys/smiley3.gif)
I have a pair of New Balance (great tennis shoes and very comfortable), some brown dress shoes, the black dress shoes I got married in, and flip flops.
Safe to say I don't really do shoes. ![LOL LOL](smileys/smiley36.gif)
Oh, I have a pair of these:
And I have a brown pair of Puma knockoffs which are now ratty and uncomfortable.

Most of the shoes I own now are slip-ons. I walk funny, and when I wear shoes with laces, they come untied in a matter of seconds. So I made a conscious decision not to buy any more shoes with laces, so I don't have to re-tie them 50 times a day. I even have laceless Doc Martens.
I don't do flip-flops or man-sandals. I just don't.

I have a found a solution to your problem: ![](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wH2Cpc5vN_k/TY2saM9yRdI/AAAAAAAAALw/Yd2bQu7QOZg/s1600/crocs.jpg) ![LOL LOL](smileys/smiley36.gif) Crocs in assorted colours. Do it man, DO IT. Vans make some really nice slip ons. I have an old, black pair of New Eras that still fit me, usually worn to cut grass.

As a RN, who is also married to one, I concur. Given the type of work I think they should be illegal in an infectious environment. Plus, the risk for brown spots on your socks is high, if you know what I mean. (Hint: Its poo!) I wear these for work. ![](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2B6Or3yWVL.jpg) And these at home.
