I hope you are recovering smoothly!

I like these as they are quite comfortable and fairly plain.


Lots of different colors:

These look comfy enough ;)

Going to send me back to the hospital from dehydration.

Where you walking and what are the condition?

If you're dry and just doing fairly casual pavement pounding a set of runners aren't bad. Quite like mizunos.

If it's peeing it down and you go on trails/grass etc something a bit more durable. Some on here swear by Adidas Terrex.

Just pounding the pavement, it's never "pissing down" here in Metro Phoenix; maybe during monsoon season, then it can get a bit violent for 10-15 min. Other than that it's drier than Gandhi's flip-flops around here, as the saying goes.
 

Without stating the obvious mate, the reason most of the nurses wear Hoka`s, is that they`re on their feet all day and walk miles during the course of their day to day. I got my missus into them and she swears by them now - she`s got two pairs, one for work ( nurse ) and one for the gym.

You really won`t get a better lightweight cushioned shoe - I`ve got loads of different types for my running.

As they`ve become popular for certain work places, they`ve started toning down the colours, so you don`t have to wear a rainbow on your feet.

They also do boots in certain styles too, which I`ve never worn, but heard good reports about.

The Italian company - La Sportiva, do some good stuff too ( pricey though )

Right, but the ones she got me look Iike some kind of Frankenthaler interpretation (the Mafate Speed 4), I'm too laid back for it not to bother my crybaby arse and they don't make it in something more subtle, like some of their other models (at least that I've seen). Leaning towards those On's of @Goat or these New Balance 1080v13's which I've read/wached a lot of good reviews on.

Mate, those Mafate, are the equivalent of strapping tractor tyres onto your feet. They’re designed for proper rugged off road stuff, like running in the mountains 😂

These are the ones you want, Clifton’s 👍

I think I made the mistake of telling her I was going to do some my walking at a local desert park, which is a lot of hardpacked clay topped with decomposed granite and ankle-breaking small rocks, it's basically like walking on bb's spilt on top of concrete. My mistake, just out of hospital talk. My guess is that's what she told the salesman.

Thx, you've made it that much more indecisive. ;)
 

If you want to stop traffic, then get yourself a pair of these. Used ones on eBay that are broken in are best.
