No one tells you that as you get older wearing shoes with proper support will become a priority.

It all starts with comfortable underwear.

I've always been at the comfy undies stage, my mother growing up was very serious about undies.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Haha. I was the same but I've dabbled else where. My only requirements now is clean and comfortable.

Which does not have to mean beige. Grump!!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

True! But unfortunately manufacturers believe if you go for comfort then you've given up on life and don't deserve colour :(

Believe it! I once put on two slightly different black flats in the dark and the tiny mismatch threw my back out for the week.

Putting out your back for weird reasons = sign of getting old

Me at hospital. Doctor asks how my latest sciatica started. Me, I rolled over in bed.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I regularly hurt my back sneezing as a wake up because I haven't warmed up my muscles for the day yet.

I do not recommend catching pertussis

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

*catching it again. I had it as a child. It fortunately stunted my growth.

I recently bought a bunch of stick on gel arch supports and they are fan-bloody-tastic.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Fuck man it’s like, you hit 30 and goodbye anything but runners or well made skate shoes! I thought hush puppies were good but the support seems to die fast.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

This is me, I'm a hop from 30 and things are starting to hurt in ways I didn't think they could.

There is a reason New Balance are popular for guys 40+
