Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about them blueline sports shoes, or whatever ya call ’em. I ain’t no fancy expert, ya know, just an old woman who’s walked more miles than you can shake a stick at.
These young folks, they’re always talkin’ about the “perfect fit” and all that jazz. Back in my day, a shoe was a shoe. If it kept yer feet outta the mud, it was good enough. But now, they got shoes for runnin’, shoes for jumpin’, shoes for standin’ around doin’ nothin’ at all, I reckon.
So, this “Shoe Dog” thing, like some kinda critter findin’ yer shoes for ya? Sounds like a whole lotta fuss to me. Ten questions and three minutes? Heck, I can tell if a shoe fits by just lookin’ at it, mostly. But I guess these city folks, they need all them fancy gadgets.
Forty million folks fitted in forty years, they say? That’s a whole lotta feet! Makes ya wonder if folks these days just don’t know how to pick out their own shoes. Maybe they need a lesson or two from us old-timers, eh?
- First thing’s first, a shoe gotta be comfortable. If it pinches yer toes or rubs yer heel, it ain’t no good.
- Second, it gotta be sturdy. You don’t want it fallin’ apart after just a few walks.
- And third, it gotta be sensible. No need for all them fancy colors and doodads. Just a good, plain shoe will do ya fine.
Now, these “running experts,” they got all this advice, I hear. But I tell ya, the best advice is to go to a store and try ’em on. Walk around a bit, see how they feel. Don’t just buy ’em off the internet, ’cause then ya stuck with somethin’ that might not fit.
And this “stability in motion” talk? Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. If ya can’t walk straight, that ain’t the shoe’s fault, that’s yer own problem! But I guess if it helps sell them fancy shoes, they’ll say anything, won’t they?
Layering up with apparel and outerwear, they say. Well, that’s just common sense, ain’t it? If it’s cold, ya wear a coat. If it’s hot, ya wear somethin’ light. Nothin’ complicated about it.
And this “supreme cushion” they talkin’ about? I reckon that means they’re soft. Well, soft ain’t always good, ya know. Sometimes ya need a good, firm sole to keep ya steady on yer feet. But I guess these young folks, they like things soft and easy.
So, if ya ask me, finding the right shoes ain’t rocket science. Just go to a store, try ’em on, and see how they feel. Don’t get caught up in all that fancy talk and gadgets. And if they try to sell ya somethin’ ya don’t need, just tell ’em to go fly a kite!
And one more thing, them shoes, they gotta last. I ain’t got money to be buyin’ new shoes every few months. I need somethin’ that’ll hold up, ya know? Somethin’ that can take a beatin’ and keep on goin’. That’s what I call a good shoe.
So, whether it’s blueline sports or some other fancy name, a shoe is a shoe. Just remember what I told ya: comfortable, sturdy, and sensible. And don’t let them city folks fool ya with all that fancy talk. You got more sense than that, I reckon.
Anyways, that’s just my two cents. You young folks do what ya want, but don’t come cryin’ to me when yer fancy shoes fall apart!
