“I buy Walmart sneakers”
I bought a $17 dollar pair of white Walmart sneakers a few years ago and found them comfortable enough for just about anything.
Still keep a nicer pair of Skechers. But I never feel too bad if I accidentally scuff the Walmart pair.
Keeping my feet comfortable makes my life better, so I buy Hokas, the most comfortable sneakers I know. Plush is the best word to describe them. I have two pairs and alternate them every few days just to keep them plush as possible. They are expensive, I know, but my feet love me for it.
I’m lucky to get a few months out of any pair of sneakers, so no way do I buy an expensive pair.
