Gotcha. I've been buying Sketchers brand for a few years. They're not expensive but not cheap crap either. I usually get the sneaker with memory foam insoles. The shittiest sneakers I've ever bought are Nike. Overpriced to hell, and they don't last too long. I've tried New Balance too. Overhyped imo, and overpriced.
I wore New Balance for years, but switched to Asics a couple of years ago because my wife recommended them. They have worked pretty well, but after my knee surgeries and now that I am retired, I plan to walk just about every day that weather permits, so want to get the best shoes I can.
^ Keep moving. That's the key. Don't over do it, but keep movin.'
I have a pair of Merrell "Moab" shoes.
They're comfortable, but:
Wouldn't you think, from seeing this that they'd provide good traction?
They don't--at all. I even have to be careful if it's wet out and I step on a painted area of a parking lot. I wouldn't get them again.
I'm on my feet all day at work on concrete floors for over thirty-six years, usually six days a week, since 2009 on a resectioned leg, now heavily reinforced after I broke the rod out of my femur. I usually wear Reebok walkers with inserts at work. Before a two week trip to France and Bavaria two summers ago, I read up on everything and I went into a running store and tried on everything with different types of inserts and was recommended Brooks Dyad 10s that were hidden in the back, the saleswoman brought in for folks like me, that run wider and I added Superfeet copper inserts. They are by far the lightest and most comfirtable shoes I have ever worn. I'm not a flip flop person unless I'm at the beach or pool, but the same store also had some OOFOS recovery sport sandles that give fantastic arch support. The two most comfortable pairs of "shoes" I have ever worn, and I've gone through dozens of pairs of shoes over the years.
My new yard sign arrived yesterday! It just needs to rust a little more to match the older one. F1100F29-A787-4F13-9D22-B52E279935E0.jpg

I'm going to put this here as I guess only an old Geezer would be concerned with this....
My Roomba's have either stopped working or get Lost and can't find their charger.
I heard on NPR Friday that this is a worldwide problem????? It was announced during the comic-relief portion of Morning Edition (45min after the hour) They said to have patience and it will be resolved.
Anyone else wondering what happened to your Roomba?
Any tech-savy folks know Why? Are they GPS controlled? GPS Satellites off kilter?
Do I need to get a life?

Mine gets stuck in weird places - I don't know how T F it finds those places - all I know is that I can never find it, and I can usually not get into those places to rescue her!
Remember the Jetsons? Remember the robot housemaid? Her name was Rosie. Hence - my Roomba is named Rosie.

Duncan

This is exactly how "the rise of the machines" really gets going!
Do those things really work well? I feel like our house is too cluttered for them to really get around and into corners and such. Do they have trouble getting onto rugs and over thresholds? Our cats would probably enjoy one.
I think I just read on Facebook Uncle Norm passed away.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
He did, cancer, 4pm today. He will be missed, hell of a guy. Miss ya Norm. RIP.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Following the "Damn I'm Old" theme of this thread - my wife and I are celebrating our 40th anniversary today.
That's 40 whole years!
Damn she's old
