Got another new pair of shoes yesterday. From my go-to: Ross Dress for Less.



They have that hideous yellow on the top of them but I don't care, they were $13. I'll just be using them for my walks anyway so they will last all of a month or 6 weeks at best.

Quick aside before I even start. I searched "put my new shoes on" cause I knew I started this thread at some point and I searched through 10 pages and it wasn't there. Argh. Found it by going to start a new thread and typing it in as the title and it came up as a related thread.

I guess the last time I had name brand shoes was in 2020 in my last post. And those were all cheap ones from Ross Dress for Less. Anyway I wear a uniform at work. A PS shirt and dark shorts or pants and a PS hat. I wanted a way to wear something Eagles at work so I've been looking into Birds shoes. There are a ton of really cool ones you can get online but only 1 official pair of Eagles shoes they sell on their site:


For the past 5 years I've been wearing some version of these $20 Walmart sneakers:


So this Nike pair is really cool. I get to rep my Brids at work without violating any uniform policy. What I didn't expect is how much more comfortable they are than the $20 pair. I figured I was paying $150 for the brand. But they are so much better.

Wearing them the first couple days I noticed a bump or whatever on the right side of my left foot and the left side of my right foot. I thought it was weird until I realized that was arch support. Hahahahahah. I wasn't used to that cause apparently you don't get that with Walmart shoes.

I got these Dr. Martens recently. These will be my everyday and work shoes for a while.

They have a thick sole that's shaped to eliminate foot pain when walking/running. They come in a million models and styles, from basic black (like mine) to full-on Magical Mystery Tour. They also have good arch supports and all that. Plus, they're expensive, and not discounted anywhere. So you just find what you need, buy them, and don't haggle. That's what mature people do. They're convinced they need them, so they just get them. Best I can tell, Mrs. Scotch has 3 pairs.
