i walked like 20,000+ steps in these everyday while travelling europe for a month and they are still in amazing condition and were so so comfy, went with everything I wore and had amazing tread on the soles
to make them even more comfy, recommend wearing wool socks β sock quality is just as important as the shoe for max comfort factor
also they come in a bunch of cute colourways

I don't drive so I walk a lot and treat shoe purchases as if I am buying vehicles. I have acknowledged this week that I now have every shoe I will need. I have tried and tested many many many kinds and brands and these are my findings
Trainers:
- For day to day, city walking etc = Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 (I have walked 15,000 steps in these and felt nothing)
- For longer distances, when you need a chunky sole, rain etc = Adidas Astir
Sandals:
- Clarks (I just got the Alda Cross sandals and wowww)
Boots:
- Vagabond (beautifully made, comfy, great styles)
- Fly London (I wore these for ten hour bartending shifts and they were super comfy)
- Skechers (mostly hideous but they have squishy sole walking boots which are peak comfort)
Heels:
- I have done a lot of research here and the way to find walkable heels is to look for the positioning of the heel. If the heel is directly under the heel of the foot that's good, if it's right at the back that's bad. It's all about the weight distribution.
- My favourite nice heels are from Aquazzura, my second favourite are from H&M.
Loafers:
- Gucci win for both heeled and flat loafers
- Marks and Spencers in second place for chunky loafers
Slip ons/clogs:
- Birkis by Birkenstock
- bonus round: I've loved every pair of sliders I've ever met

Iβve stood, walked, and ran hours everyday for nearly a year and they are still so comfortable. Itβs like standing/walking on a cloud. Normally shoes I regularly wear get worn out completely after 10 months, but these are still in great condition.
**they also have wide foot sizes available

I bought a pair of these at DSW on sale for like 20 bucks and I love them. They're super comfortable and I highly recommend them. I wear them all the time if I'm just gonna be on my feet or go somewhere. I haven't attempted to pass them off as dress shoes yet but I may try in the future. They have a super good sole with plenty of cushioning for your foot so I even wear them around the house to not mess up my feet on concrete floors.

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised β i AM the pigeon lady π¦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. youβre forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You canβt just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. itβs super underrated, but genuinely Iβve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you donβt have to do it in one big block, you can space it out β 15 mins here, 45 there β whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself β even if it means you're 'uncool'.
