    I walked over 7km on my trip around town today. Now I’m home and Mr woof really wants second walkies. I probably should go now before I sieze up and can’t move at all.

        My husband manages 23,000 steps most days around the warehouse. The man is a machine.

              I haven’t worn safety boots in about 7 years, but still have a pair of Steel Blue lace ups from my last job. I swear I could hike in them with no issues.

                He said as soon as he tried them on his thoughts were “These are very comfortable”. He said there was no “wearing in” either. He also has the lace ups.

              I was gonna say, my usual is 15 or 20 km per day, but if I do 23 km I’m gonna be worn out. 23 k steps is still pretty good.

              How long does a pair of boots last him? I’ve been wearing Brooks Glycerin running shoes. They’re good for about 2,000 km on paved surfaces, but I keep wearing them past that because I don’t like paying for new pairs.

                He’s had these ones for more than a year now and they still look pretty new. He’ll wear out the tread before anything else. He’s owned hard yakka and they last about a year or two.

                23,000+ steps a day over a year

                  That’s pretty good. Soles are the first thing to go for me, too. I know it isn’t directly comparable, because I’m doing outdoor, primarily on paved surfaces, at a substantial speed, and need my shoes to handle adverse weather. But damn, I wish I could get a pair of shoes that last me years.
