Just felt like making a 'good lord, how have I existed without this product' thread.
As a total cracker of the variety that is not emo, hipster, goth, or any of those other 'specific' things...and that doesn't wear business clothes...I, of course, wear nothing but sneakers. Generally keep one 'good' pair, and wear the previous 'good' pair to work in. Which means I usually end up buying new shoes because I need a new pair of shitty old sneakers for work. Heh.
I feel like I'm just going to have to get a second pair of these, though:
http://www.skechers.com/style/53560/skechers-on-the-go-court/bkbl
Most comfortable 'casual' sneakers I've ever had. Super light, with soft, thin uppers...no freaking plastic or anything to rub through the liner and jab me in the ankle...with overall feel of everything you need and nothing you don't. And the soles are stupid soft. The outer part has a 'give' to it that I have not ever encountered before. Seems like a pretty basic, inexpensive material, but just makes me think 'wow, that's some good modern materials engineering right there.'
Oddly enough, they also have shoes with advertised 'memory foam,' but it's just thick insoles on harder outsole material. On the variety of shoes with this sole (there's a bunch), though, it's like the whole thing is one cohesive material that seems the epitome of a 'memory foam' for your feet.
Highly recommended shoes. That's all. Have worn all kinds before, usually of the general 'running shoe' variety...New Balance, Aasics, Saucony, even Nikes (sometimes comfortable but god their durability is shit)...most of the companies that make a decent running shoe. None have been this 'different.'
