My feet!! Ow, they haven't hurt this much since my last three jobs, and I was constantly on my feet for 6+ hours. I think I'm going to have to get new shoes... I guess I'm taking a trip to the outlet mall an hour outside of town. I'm going to try Nike this time. Addius didn't last long, just over a year. I don't want to spend more money, but I took a good look at my shoes, they're starting to make holes on the side, so I have double reason. I only have one pair of tenni shoes, I need to have them broken in for fall.

Work was better, my partner was back and an old co-worker returned. She's the one I click with the most, she was my partner last year with 2nd grade.

Did you know that podiatrists suggest that you get new shoes every three months?

Yeah, I can't afford it either.

But I do this trick, which is very helpful. Buy two pairs of shoes, and wear one pair for a day, then the other, then back to the first, etc. This allows the first pair to completely dry out and for the material to recover, thus both pairs last you much longer. I can get my sneakers to last for 12-14 months this way, and in the long run, I spend less money on shoes.

Especially since it's Labor Day and there will be sales...try finding a Famous Footwear and see if they're having their 'buy one, get the second 1/2 price' sale.

Shutting up now...

I think it also has to do with brands. I've had sketchers, addius, and new balance. Sketchers by far lasted the longest, averaging 2 or 3 years. The ones I have now are Adduis. They haven't cut it a year. New Balance killed my feet, I had to return them. I'm going to the outlet to see if I can find a Nike that works well. If not I'll go to the Sketchers outlet, which is actually on my way to work. Sketchers may have lasted long, but walking around on them for a long period of time was about the same as addius, they just last a lot longer. I've had three pairs of sketchers since middle school, so eh. We'll just have to see what happens, right?
