    No one tells you that as you get older wearing shoes with proper support will become a priority.

          True! But unfortunately manufacturers believe if you go for comfort then you’ve given up on life and don’t deserve colour :(

        I’ve always been at the comfy undies stage, my mother growing up was very serious about undies.

          Haha. I was the same but I’ve dabbled else where. My only requirements now is clean and comfortable.

      Believe it! I once put on two slightly different black flats in the dark and the tiny mismatch threw my back out for the week.

        Putting out your back for weird reasons = sign of getting old

        Me at hospital. Doctor asks how my latest sciatica started. Me, I rolled over in bed.

          I regularly hurt my back sneezing as a wake up because I haven’t warmed up my muscles for the day yet.

      I recently bought a bunch of stick on gel arch supports and they are fan-bloody-tastic.

      Fuck man it’s like, you hit 30 and goodbye anything but runners or well made skate shoes! I thought hush puppies were good but the support seems to die fast.

        This is me, I’m a hop from 30 and things are starting to hurt in ways I didn’t think they could.
