These shoes are made for walking

#1. not really only in the mornings when she's half asleep. the trick is to take your time.
#2. no, not with shoes only sometimes with her "gumboots". she has others she wears arounf the house that have silicon bumbs on them that was purchased from the market at the barn in durbanville.

Thanks a lot @lesvaches & wife! I have a few pairs of slipper socks (the ones with silicone underneath to stop one from slipping) but they're not toe socks.

Thanks for the Rockport discussions @M.Adhir and @ShamZ
Where you chaps getting your 'ports?
Im a relative Rockport newbie but I am so pleased with my current pair that I want to get another pair.

I get at the Reebok store in Durban CBD, bought my last pair last week. Really good prices. Like @M.Adhir I feel I need to keep spare, so did that before my move back up to JHB

I don't like those shoes that are basically skins on your feet. For me they don't work for normal walking around or casual day wear etc.
They are great for weightlifting at gym, where you need direct contact between your foot at the floor.
But they don't offer proper support or protection.

My most comfortable pair of shoes are my Nike takkies I got a few years ago. So comfy. Can't remember the model but they were amongst the priciest pair at Totalsports when I got them. I am super fussy about my shoes and I agonise for ages finding comfortable shoes that look decent.

For work, I found Rockport - AMAZING shoes. So comfortable and light. And they look very smart. Got them at Khaliques here in JHB. Such good shoes I am most impressed. My previous favourites were Echo/Ekko shoes - but they bombed out - They were just as good - but not available anymore.

Thanks @SmokeyJoe
Much appreciated

It's actually not that brand.
I made a mistake, it's not Ecko, its ECCO

I found the shoe I had!
This one:
https://global.ecco.com/en/men/product-types/shoes/minneapolis-620214-01001

I had it in black
It was the most comfortable work shoe I ever had. My Rockports now are also outstanding - but I was so sad when my Ecco shoes finally gave in - after like 5 or 6 years.

Can't find them anywhere here - I probably just need to import them.
They are from Denmark originally.
These guys know how to make shoes!

They also make very good golf shoes.

Aah so some outlets still stock them :).
Im gonna give you a shopping list next time you're in durbs lol
 
I've got one pair of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Thick sole with a good tread and the shoes are padded inside. They're not just on my feet - they hug my feet! Because of the padding they're too hot for summer unfortunately, but I've worn them every winter for the past four years. In fact, I'm wearing them right now. And I bought them at Checkers Hyper :). Just lucky - never seen them again.

Based on the fact that I have a neutral step I swear by my uncaged ultraboosts... Greatest most comfortable shoes around, all I wear to vape events or times when I'm on my feet a lot... So worth the dough
 
Shoe Mail Baby! My second pair of Joe Nimble shoes arrived from Germany via the USA. Now to see if the "Joggers" are as comfortable as my others.

Smokescreen! I ordered size 10 USA and not 10 UK which is actually a US 11. If anyone wants a USA size 10 Joe Nimble Jogger and you want to save on the courier shipping and Vat on arrival now is your chance. R2584.32 is all you will pay!

Oh no how disappointing for you @Rob Fisher. I don't know why sizes can't be standardised across all countries.
 
YAY! My new Joe Nimble Joggers arrived today and they are the right size! Bazinga!

Looking good @Rob Fisher! Don't know why you said before that people think they look funny.

Well, my youngest daughter thinks they look funny... they are wider at the toe area than normal shoes. But I don't care because they are SO COMFORTABLE! Bazinga!
