>>385534they -fit- just fine on my feet, but have such shitty ergonomics
Because I don't have a car to go driving around looking at shoes, there is limited store shelf selection last few times I looked at nearby stores for waterproof boots, and I'm very autistic about refusing to buy or try on shoes other people already stuck their feet in, just took the leap and ordered them online.
I saw mostly positive reviews, and from the outside, it -looked- like since there was notable arch space, unlike flat-bottomed boots, that they would have good sole supports. Can't return them because I used them on a short hike through some deep mud and creek wading when I first received them, which is the reason I bought them. The next time I put them on, walked 2 blocks away and both feet started hurting, so went back home and changed into asics. Last Thursday, against better judgment I wore them for a very long hike, using these gel insoles with some rise for sole support. Turned out I didn't go in a wet area I though I would that day, and seem to have fucked up my right foot but not the left.
So now I'm just gonna wear nothing but asics all the time everywhere. Because the previous day this Wednesday I also did a 6 hour walk through rough terrain, and my feet felt fine when i go home, even though the shoes were at the end of their lifespan, toes almost worn through and what was left of one of the heel pieces was hanging on by as thread by the time I got home, had a new pair ready to replace them. on /r9k/ they refer to this as 'autism shoe syndrome' when someone wears nothing but athletic shoes. I'm actually on the spectrum, but still don't get why most people wear flat shoes, whether sneakers, dress shoes or boots. Do most people just have flat feet, or are they just following fashion at the expense of foot health and comfort.
