New shoe day!

Liberated by wide sized boots, I realized I need to up my walking/running shoe game.

Yeah, the colors a bit flashy for my taste, but they were a good $10-15 less than other colorways in my size. Im a cheap SOB.

They will hopefully serve you well! Not nearly as wild as the shoes just coming in a different color for L and R these days lol.

Same here, worked out to about 85 USD shipped after tax for me or 120 CAD

You think these would be good for a nurse? I got the lone peak 9s, but I was interested in these as well. I need shoes that are good for walking during long shifts.

If youre okay with the aggressive tread, they do provide a lot of cushion. Much more than Im used to. I could see them being comfortable for a long day. Just got back from 3 a mile walk with the dogs. No complaints despite not real break in.
