minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 month agoI push people in wheelchairs for a living. I roughly walk 6-10 miles a day. My shoes are 2-3 years old, and literally falling apart. And I’ll keep wearing them until a week AFTER they fall apart! I got duct tape!

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 month agoGood shoes are important. Protect your feet, knees, and back. You’ll thank yourself for it one day.
