  • There’s plenty to choose from.
  • Trends come and go. Past styles can make comebacks.
  • Timeless styles stick around and tend to be compatible with many different outfits.
  • There’s a lot of similarities, if not exact duplicates from different brands. (unoriginal, copies)
  • Most wear down over time. The durable ones last forever.
  • Shoes don’t get you places unless you wear them. You have to move yourself towards where you want to go.

Finding the right fit

  • To find the right fit, you’ve got to try them out for an extended period of time.
  • It’s easy to think you’ve found the right fit the first time you try them on only to find out that a week later they’re are actually terrible.
