Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
My favorite pair of shoes is a pair of New Balance sneakers I got myself in high school. I had gotten them my junior year for cross country and track, but ended up needing to quit since I had too much homework. It wasn’t until college that I actually started wearing those sneakers. Without track, my older sneakers lasted a lot longer.
Running shoes tend to be very comfortable and meant to take a lot of wear and tear. This pair of shoes ended up lasting me a good four years or so before starting to tear. I wore these shoes when I went to the hospital, so the laces were taken out and I’ve been too lazy to put them back in. Turns out, the shoes fit just fine without them! My girlfriend didn’t even know they had laces! They’re easy to slip on and off, they’re comfortable, and they’re light on my feet!
It upsets me a bit that these shoes have a hole in them now, but I’m sure I can find another comfortable pair of sneakers to wear. I will need better shoes for exercising. Once the weather warms up a bit, I can go on walks, bike, or even play tennis with my girlfriend!
