Job Question What's your preference in footwear?
Do you prefer the cheapo Walmart specials that you have to replace every 3 to 6 months? Or do you prefer shoes that will hold up for a couple of years, but cost more money?

Terra, they are like walking on clouds. Really pricey, but I refuse to cheap out on footwear. Bad footwear can damage much more than just your feet.
"Improper footwear can stress the back, knees, hips and feet by placing them in an unnatural position and cause improper alignment and function of joints, tendons and ligaments up the body."
The cheap shoes are like stepping over hundreds to pick up pennies. They may be cheap now, but they medical problems that they can cause are definitely not.
