I am not entirely Cinderlla material. For one I’m a man, secondly I don’t have a step-mother. I have a sister, but she’s not a step-sister. I don’t own enough pets to have a fairy godmother whip into a kit to go to a dance to marry someone besides my wife. On top of all of that the sea monkeys we do have are probably not going to turn into a flight of horses at all. Anyway, I’ve bought inexpensive ‘sports shoes’ for most of my adult life. Shoes that have been pretty bad on my feet. Shoes that hurt my feet when working out.
Tonight I purchased running shoes. I purchased $100.00 running shoes. I am going to have feet that don’t hurt when I exercise and knees and a back that don’t kill me after having attempted to get healthy. I will spend more on shoes, but less at the doctor. I want to go hiking and hike a 14,000 foot mountain this summer, but my knees are going to need to be able to handle that and I don’t think they will unless I have shoes that support and work with consistent exercise to get my knees back into shape.
Don’t spend crazy amounts of money on shoes unless you’re going to use them, but watch out that your not doing damage to your body by wearing shoes that don’t cut the mustard. I’ve got to go run to the closet and see if I’ve got something to wear to the ball.
