I stopped wearing regular dress shoes many years ago in favor of very wide footwear.
Birkenstock shoes can work for work. Also primal professional shoes. Or upscale sanuk.
Shoes are the enemy. They are rounded. Feet should be wide at toes with big toe spread for ground grippage.
After sleep and poop, feet are my 3rd highest concern.[/quote]
Think I’d rate my concerns food, sleep, eyes, with sex coming a close 4th.
I protect my eyes very very carefully.
Feet are important too though. I too always go with extra wide shoes with plenty of toe room. Even to work, I wear shoes as close to slippers as I can get away with (leather on the outside, soft on the inside, no shoe strings, loose fit).
I also really like Ecco shoes. There is one Ecco style I am so enamored with I have several new pair in storage so I have enough to last me the rest of my life…don’t have to worry about whether they get discontinued. :-)[/quote]
I use to have ecco shoes. There was an old soft leather type that I really liked so much that I bought two pairs. After I finally wore out the first pair and I took out the other pair. However, the first day with them, for whatever reasons, the heels completely fell apart…literally melted and stuck to the ground as I was walking… I guess leaving them in the garage for so many years did something to them. I haven’t been able to find something similar, because they changed their styles. So that’s why I wear tennis shoes most of the time….
Thank goodness I’m a software geek and don’t need to wear a suit most of the time. I don’t understand how some women manage to wear high heels most the time. It looks really uncomfortable…
