as stupid and expensive as they are they are an absolute necessity. getting orthotic inserts reopened a world of walking everywhere all the time again sans seemingly perpetual pain. i travelled this summer and legitimately i was most worried about getting my shoes stolen (whether logical or not) cause i´d be a mess without my inserts.
shitty thing is that they don’t fit into all shoes so a shoe choice in the morning takes a lot more thought now
benefits include toes being extra separated. they’re really squishy and feel nice in between your toes. Originally got them bc my dad was wearing them and claims they improve his balance.
instead of doing it under the influence we should start saying it casually on the daily on a random weekday afternoon… this is the way please believe me!
possibly one of the cooler and chic- er things i own… i love the look of it sooo much, it makes the cds in my collection a piece of art in itself, proudly displayed when it’s not spinning !
