I’m looking for a nice shoe to replace my current Asics Gel -Keyano 27s. I basically wear these shoes for everything from long walks to yard work. They served me well, but it’s time for a new pair as these are worn out.

Any recommendations? I was looking at allbirds, but not sure I can make the jump.

Thanks!

    I speak with authority on this, and I think you should get shoes that light up when you walk.

    Black on black Adidas Ultraboost 22s. They are incredibly comfortable, and look decent enough to wear with anything short of formal attire. They are similar in style and price to your Asics too.

    Also considering getting another pair of shoes to cycle through. Wearing the same shoes daily can create humidity and mold which is not good for your feet’s health.

    Giving them 24hrs to dry before you use them again is best. I’ve been using the Nike Pegasus that i bought for like $70 at an outlet store near me and I really like them.

    For when i am not at home (farm), or when i go running (i really should do that regularely again), i prefer barefoot shoes nowadays. Those who take it seriously and have a wide toebox such as Wildling also come with the benefit (for me) that they fit my wide feet, since i otherwise tend to give up and have to buy oversized shoes, which in turn also makes them die faster.

      I just got a pair of Vibram Furoshiki that I’m loving so far. I haven’t tried running in them yet, but plan to in the near future.

        interesting, i didn’t go with vibram because i assumed the climate would be bad for “everyday” use. also i am not too impressed with the build quality of my v-runs. i actually had to get me socks for them because of eg. rubbing off skin on the back and the sole / glue of the sole hurting the toes. i think v-track were my first… they have been good enough to run without socks.

          FYI, I tried a short run yesterday in those Furoshiki. I don’t recommend for running. My foot was sliding inside all over the place. I felt very unstable. I’ll be using them as slippers/walking shoes at most.

    I have been using the Brooks Ghost series in all black as my go-to everyday wear for the last 4 or 5 years and really like them. Unfortunately, so does the rest of the world because it’s basically impossible to find them on sale, alas.
