Over the last 4 years i've barely worn shoes like 30 days in total. Today I noticed my previously best fitting shoes are like a size too big.

Ive also lost 40 kg from the point i bought these shoes. Have the shoes shape been ruined or have my feet shrunk??

How is it possible to wear shoes for 30 total days in 4 years? That seems like an incredibly low number.

[โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sandals, flip-flops, slippers.

I live in a culture where people don't wear shoes ever.

Yeah thats pretty much it. Tho i also like to play the couple of sports I do bare foot in the grass unless theres risk of cat poop

I know this is veering off the course of discussion a bit, but I think I'd prefer to stand in shit with my bare foot than with a shoe on, because it's much easier to clean off. Unless I haven't got anything to hand to clean it with and I've come to the field wearing shoes.

Go post on unpopular opinion

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

That makes sense. I was thinking no shoes = barefoot.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Working from home, I'd imagine. Since covid, I think I've only put on real pants maybe 8 times.

Could be shoes that only get worn on special occasions. I have a pair of ghillie brogues that I only wear a few times a year

Edit: wait, never mind, I see now that OP meant shoes in general, not a specific pair

Do you consider sandals "shoes" or just footwear?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so confused as to how people say sandals aren't shoes. they're open-toed shoes. what is your definition of "shoe," people?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The difference is that shoes that are fully enclosed need to fit you pretty well to be comfortable, while for something open like a sandal that's not nearly as important

Dress shoes only worn for special occasions maybe?
