When I got home and got back to work in traditional shoes, the pain returned. Then last Fall I went to the beach for a week and was barefoot for 7 days straight, and lo and behold, ALL my foot pain went away. Almost constant pain and discomfort from the immobility and compensation. Will be buying more.Įver since I broke my big toe trail running and was immobilized in a boot for 2 1/2 months, my feet and ankles in both feet have been messed up. Seriously, these are my everyday, three-season shoes. Trust me, I have no problem with my general dirtbag persona, so these shoes may be too classy for me. And they still look good enough to wear to town. Really? Id have burnt through 3 pairs of Chucks by now. Okay, as I said, never meant for everyday wear, Im used to no arch support Converse, never know what Ill deal with in a day.these are the perfect shoes! Ive worn these every day for a year and a half (unless there was snow on the ground) and Ive just noticed that the sole at the heel is wearing thin. Ive got a pretty good job, in case you hadnt noticed.). I also spend a fair amount of time scrambling over rocks, in shallow water, on a kayak/SUP/windsurfer, etc. I could melt (literally) the soles off of a new pair of Converse Chuck Taylors a month into the season. However, I have been wearing mine for 500 days (approximately) and I have absolutely no complaints. Read a lot of reviews that dinged them for having no arch support, etc. These, by all accounts, were never designed to be every day wear shoes.
