i decided that i do not want to think about what shoes to wear for the day anymore (for now) so i asked my friend for work shoe recs & this is the best shoe everrr i've genuinely worn them every single day for a month, they're stable & comfy enough to get me through 8 hour hospo shifts on my feet lovvvvve can't recommend enough
I bought a pair of these at DSW on sale for like 20 bucks and I love them. They're super comfortable and I highly recommend them. I wear them all the time if I'm just gonna be on my feet or go somewhere. I haven't attempted to pass them off as dress shoes yet but I may try in the future. They have a super good sole with plenty of cushioning for your foot so I even wear them around the house to not mess up my feet on concrete floors.
After gradually getting used to them over time, they are easily the most comfortable walking shoes I have. If my day calls for a lot of walking, these are my go to.
u gotta just show up at the same places consistently. if someone sees u at a place long enough they'll either end up talking to u or u'll talk to them by virtue of just occupying the space. this can apply to almost anything so like the gym, dance classes, art studios, cafes, bars, clubs, book clubs, town hall meetings, etc personally, ive been going to the same rock climbing gym and even though i suck at it (and im really really bad at it) ive met a couple of rlly cool ppl from there. but yeah its much easier said than done, bc life can get in the way of that consistency. but if u rlly try at it i think u can meet some cool folks.
