This feels a little weird

For the first time in something like a decade and a half, I'm not wearing work boots for shoes.

I needed a new pair, as after two+ years of use, I have worn through the soles in places, meaning that if I step in a puddle, the water gets wicked up into my socks.

But it takes so long to break in new work boots (especially steel-toe boots), and it hurts until they are broken in, so I went with some sneakers this time. Who knew that Dr. Scholl's had sneakers branded after them? Goddamn these things are comfortable.

Ah, the age old tradeoff. Comfort vs. ass kicking power.

Plus, it's been years since I dropped a case of paper on my foot, so I don't think I need the steel-toe boots any more.

Please tell me that they aren't white sneakers.

Nope. Black. Gotta be black shoes for work.
