Re: “Anyway, iffen ya is ever lookin fer a pair of walking shoes that will act as a shock absorber these work pretty well.”
Perhaps one day. But I'm loath to buy a new pair of shoes until I absolutely have to.

One reason is that I never go anywhere. Oh, maybe to the grocery store or out for gas, but I'm otherwise spending all of my time in the house or on one of the properties.

For another, my main concern isn't sole support but ankle support. I've taken bad sprains a dozen or more times and learned that, more than anything else, I need to wear hightop shoes. That means either basketball style tennis shoes or hiking boots. I only wear standard shoes when I know for a fact I will only be walking on a totally flat surface.

Third, I wear shoes into the ground. BEYOND the ground. Long after other people would've thrown shoes away, I'm whipping out shoe glue and giving my shoes another year of life. LOL.

Finally, I've got new shoes in reserve. I wouldn't be much of a prepper if I forgot to stock away the single most important article of clothing excepting, maybe, clean skivvies. I've probably got 10 pairs boxed up and waiting for use.

So, I was restless being couped up and not doing anything since Jan. 22, and I talked miz micro into taking me about 15 miles to a Skechers shoe store to try on a pair of their new MAX Cushion shoes.

My athletic shoes don;t have much "bounce" in them in any more because my lard butt has pounded down the cushioning over a few years.. I know I can't get out and walk around the mall or stores but I do want to not have shockwaves nailing my bone on bone right knee when I do actually need to walk..

SO, miz micro patiently removed my old shoes and put on my feet the new MAx Cushion shoes and tied them for me.

I walked around on a concrete store floor a little and I can tell you that these are great..

LOTS of cushioning that has a litle bouncy give to it when I step down on my heels and foot..

Its a little strange because the cushion is so thick you actually gain a little more height so all you short dawgs like myself (under 6 foot tall) can feel taller....

Anyway, iffen ya is ever lookin fer a pair of walking shoes that will act as a shock absorber these work pretty well.

That's the report from Jeff's consumer shoe reports today. No subscription required.... Thumbs Up Laughing
