Ask Lemmy

Vans.

Comfort, looks, quality, price. I like the retro stuff like Asics gel lytes and Saucony grid/shadow, Adidas ultraboost and the weird eqt stuff, and sometimes Nike flynit depending on the model.

My wife picks out my sneakers, I have literally no clue how to buy them

Spiders.

I do my own sneaking these days. No need to hire someone to do a job you can easily do yourself.

durability and comfort over time. all shoes feel bouncy and nifty when new.

honestly the ideal dad shoe appears to be a new balance cross trainer from my experience. nike, adidas, new balance, sketchers and other shoes in the last few years - nb and sketchers appear to hold up better and feel better after a few hundred miles. YMMV, I do have like, goblin feet.

Low cost, high durability, comfort, lightweight, all black. Recommendations?

And comfort!

Stealth mostly

Wide toe box, durable sole, low drop, and elastic or elastic band closure.

If I can find them I know they are a bad sneaker so I will avoid.

Cut to the shape of an actual foot and flexible/minimalistic sole. I live in the Midwest, so I'll compromise some ok sole thickness in the winter. Standing in snow with my kid at the bus stop in minimalistic soles and even thicker socks makes for quick feet.

Shape of your foot? I don't understand why you would want your toes/foot contorted. I do not understand shoes that have a point in the middle of them. Either you're smashing your toes together or your making something stick out in front of your foot that will mess up your gate.

Minimalistic sole? This will get you landing more softly on your heel and help you use the balls of your feet more. It's amazing to me how thick/soft the soles of some shoes are. I suspect they're necessary to compensate for the way a lot of us walk.

My feet feel fantastic and my motion feels very natural.

Stealth.

Comfort, which to me usually means:

• good arch support
• women's wide or men's standard (theoretically the same thing)
• not a "stability" shoe (likely makes my supination worse)

I'm also a child who hates tying my shoes, so a style that's intended to slip on and off is preferred, but I can switch to elastic laces instead.

Usually a foot, but also sometimes a balled up sock that’s gone missing. Spiders, if I’m camping.

Feet.

Width. Most shoes are too narrow and pointy

What, or who?

Comfort - wise I want long enough without being too big in every other direction. If I want to run in then, zero drop or close, not over constructed, comfortable out of the box. If I want to wear them for looks, it's just Converse, always. I don't need support and they fit fine and look ok.

The only things i look for in a shoe are small pieces of gravel that sometimes get in there.

But seriously: comfort/ support, and a big 'Ole loop on the back to make them easy to pull on.

All black.

Soft squishy insoles.

Skater type shoe.

Will last more than a year.

Less than 100 bucks.

I have no brand loyalty. It's whatever checks those boxes and I'm vibin with the one time I accidentally walk into a shoe store every 5 years.

Spiders and water. I don't want to find them so I look for them.

Birds.

One morning I got up and found an explosion of feathers in the entry. I mentally said goodbye to the owner and decided it must be the smallest cat - because there was no sign of the bird and she eats everything.

Imagine my surprise when I went to put my shoe on and there was something soft and warm under my foot. There was a still-living, apparently unharmed, sparrow hiding in my sneaker. I released it outside and went on my way.

Not the most pleasant experience, but I'm luckier than my mother-in-law who found one of these in her shoe. They bite when they feel threatened - that's how she found it.

Comfort. I got into Atoms during the pan. At the time, they let you order different sized shoes because most people have slightly different sized feet. I got 10.5" on the right, 10.75" on the left. Best shoes I've ever owned.

I assume they're having financial problems because they stopped allowing that and they haven't replenished inventory for my sizes for six months or longer.

My job requires me to be on my feet constantly. I’m looking for all-day comfort, durability, support, overall quality, and a fair price. “Fair” doesn’t necessarily mean “low”. An inexpensive pair of sneakers can cost more over time if I have to replace them every year.

Cat toys.

low price with best quality I can get.

Print on demand.

If I want a very specific shoe, I can create it.

I want shoes with my fanart of DogDay and CatNap from Poppy Playtime and I will make them exist. One orange one purple both with yellow accents lfg

The Feiyue label and a $25 price tag

i have about 18 pair of the exact same shoe in different colors. keds::champion. i look for unique/old versions of this shoe
