Stacking some recs

I think caskeyc did a great job giving a vast list. I just want to sprinkle some additional things for ✨fun✨ and for ✨variety✨ The whole Paraboot catalogue is exceptional, albeit a little pricey. The price is well worth the product though. Peep through their loafers / shoes / boots and I’m sure you’ll fall in love. A brand I’m very excited about right now is Vinny’s and I think everyone should be keeping an eye on them. Relatively new-ish, but already pushing silhouettes that rival companies that have been around for a long time. I think what Sezane is doing with shoes is exciting. Some funky things there. Madewell has their own shoes but also carriers other brands; anything they stock they’ve considered versatile enough to wear with their offerings so they’re usually greatly curated. Sneakers are my weak spot. I’d say jump on the Hoka trend for comfort, but you have to accept that you’re going to likely match with a mom in her 50’s that has a MAGA2024 sticker on her minivan. Make peace with that and you’ll be fine. I’ll double recommend the Onitsuka Tiger rec too, just get those asap before they get blown up on Tik Tok, similar to the Sambas of yesterday.

Zero-drop/barefoot shoes

extremely important for pelvic and whole body alignment! Here’s a list of all the cute ones I found: -Vivobarefoot has some cute ones, I love their brown hiking boots, and i want their black sandals, and their “Lisbon” style in black, they also have great tennis shoes/sneakers -xero has cool teva-like sandals i love -lems has some sick boots and sort of “office” shoes if you work in that sort of environment  -doc martens has few zero drop styles (i have the tobias ones) if you take out the insole -extremely cute “barefoot” sandals and some other shoes on etsy (most places that make handmade shoes that are mostly flat with a 2-3mm heel can take off the heel if you DM them) -turkish style shoes have many zero drop options (can google or etsy search turkish shoe) look beautiful and great but do not have a very wide toe box -Höss Handmade have beauuutiful shoes -Ahinsa has great ballet flats -Tadeevo has great flats and boots  -The Drifter Leather is a holy grail tbh  -Crupon on etsy -Unshoes  -Lisbeth Joe -HandmadeTurkishShoes on Etsy -Oesh -Davinci Footwear  (beautiful boots) -feelbarefoot on Etsy -Hobibear  -Earthing Harmony -earth runners sandals -Shamma sandals -softstar shoes

let me hit you with some links

I need some type of Batman signal for these clothing rec type asks. Anyways here you are with the only list of sneakers that matter (With links!): The New Balance 993 is a great shoe per previous rec, but a caveat that isn’t usually discussed is that it’s more comfortable for people with flatter feet. If you’re someone with a high arch, you’ll be miserable. The Hoka Cliftons are also a great option but these are for the opposite crowd — high arch supremacy!!! I personally cannot stand these since my feet are flatter, but most people do swear by these. The Transport model also has been deemed an excellent standing / walking shoe, looks are a little more technical but you might like that. The Converse Chuck 70’s is an amazing option too and it’ll be the cheapest. It has to be the 70’s one though, the standard one doesn’t used the ortholite sole that’s known for comfort. It’s a great option. They do run big though. Finally if you’re okay with looking like a (A) finance bro or (B) a nurse, the On Cloud 5 is renowned for its comfort. It’s good for walking to grab a $$$ salad and it’s good for taking peoples vitals all day. You can’t lose! I mean, you’ll look like a nerd but who cares when your feet don’t hurt!

Top Recs from @caskeyc

🗓

My perfect budget-friendly Saturday

1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay 2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice. 3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword) 4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft. 5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical. 6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because. 7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new. 8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes. 9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it. 10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged. 11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
