They are ugly and trendy and granola as hell but once you feel those cloud soles, there’s simply no way back. I run in them, I travel in them, I buy groceries in them - you are going to have to remove them from my dead body I’m afraid.
I’d never bought a nice pair of athleisure shoes but a couple years ago I bought some Hokas and damn. I walk a lot so it’s pretty game changing. Feels like I’m walking on a cloud. I wore my last pair almost everyday for 2 years until they fell apart. Now I got some new ones with the gore tex.
...and making peace with that. Been in the biggest reading slump because I wasn't vibing with The Idiot by Elif Batuman but desperately wanted to push through bc it got shortlisted for Pulitzer. 65% in, I just had to admit it wasn't for me and abandon it. Flying through books I've been wanting to read now and feeling so much better about myself :)
