No one tells you that as you get older wearing shoes with proper support will become a priority.
It all starts with comfortable underwear.
I've always been at the comfy undies stage, my mother growing up was very serious about undies.
Haha. I was the same but I've dabbled else where. My only requirements now is clean and comfortable.
Which does not have to mean beige. Grump!!
True! But unfortunately manufacturers believe if you go for comfort then you've given up on life and don't deserve colour :(
Believe it! I once put on two slightly different black flats in the dark and the tiny mismatch threw my back out for the week.
Putting out your back for weird reasons = sign of getting old
Me at hospital. Doctor asks how my latest sciatica started. Me, I rolled over in bed.
I regularly hurt my back sneezing as a wake up because I haven't warmed up my muscles for the day yet.
I do not recommend catching pertussis
*catching it again. I had it as a child. It fortunately stunted my growth.
I recently bought a bunch of stick on gel arch supports and they are fan-bloody-tastic.
Fuck man it’s like, you hit 30 and goodbye anything but runners or well made skate shoes! I thought hush puppies were good but the support seems to die fast.
This is me, I'm a hop from 30 and things are starting to hurt in ways I didn't think they could.
There is a reason New Balance are popular for guys 40+
