Havnt owned a pair in over 20 yrs. Every time I look at some there is no bottom padding. Things look like they would feel like walking on concrete barefoot. Anyone have any they like , that are worth a shit?

Thinking bout buying a pair.

Hokas look a little clunky but damn they are comfortable.

Never understood the shoe fetish a lot of men have.  I wear what ever my wife buys me.  I wear work boots, that are nice for a day most of the time. 

During my busy season I walk 4-5 miles a day. If I wear cheap shit when I get out of the truck at the end of the day I walk like Im 90.

I'm cheap and hate laces. I buy 2 pairs of these when they go on sale for 50% off. Super comfy and very light.

When I bought the first pair of those zamberlain they gave me a pair of smartwool socks. I saw the price , $18 and thought " what kind of fucking moron would pay $18 for 1 pair of socks" after wearing them I now understand. Not only do your feet feel great all day, but the first pair I got was 5 yrs ago and Im still wearing them . Im sold.

Step ins are awesome I have had Merrill’s for 10 years and bought a pair of sketchers foam and they are awesome too.

New Balance has a line of sneakers called foam that are really comfy.

Yup.  I hate cheap socks that fall down.  My mil buys me nice socks for Christmas every year.  Not sure the brand.

I've pretty much worn New Balance for sneakers since my late teens. They were one of the only ones back then that made wide sneakers. I was constantly blowing out the seems in the side in a month on Nike's back then. New Balance 13 EEE fit's every time, lol.
