minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down2·26 days agoI push people in wheelchairs for a living. I roughly walk 6-10 miles a day. My shoes are 2-3 years old, and literally falling apart. And I’ll keep wearing them until a week AFTER they fall apart! I got duct tape!

minus-squareToday@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·26 days agoGood shoes are important. Protect your feet, knees, and back. You’ll thank yourself for it one day.
minus-squarePersen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-226 days agoTape is fine if you don’t use them all the time, but at least buy some superglue and repair them correctly.
