a good pair of shoes

Switching from boots to shoes wont change anything, told you why earlier. You need to get away from hard soles every so often. Your feet are telling you to change, and you are resisting. The feet will win sooner or later.

Nothing wrong with that. I contract in downtown Boston. Cant walk many blocks in hard shoes. Sneakers on, shoes in the pack. When I get to the gig, swap the tires.
 
What kind of sole should I get? Rubber?? When you say soft sole I think of rubber since leather is on cowboy boots and is a hard sole. So what type of soles are soft? I am not resisting anything I don't know what you mean by SOFT

What's your budget? What type of shoe are you looking for?


Nevermind. I just looked through this thread and I'm outta here.

This is the shoe equivalent of GT's "Volvo Adventure."

If you don't like the answers you get in the first thread, just make a new one. Works every time.
 
The topic of this thread is different it'd similar but different. Maybe we should combine all the oil threads into one.... After all they're similar

I will buy a decent pair of shoes soon. I need them I'm on my feet a lot now. I'll go to a shoes store and see what they say ill need to find one that's decent I guess.
Agreed. This site isn't about being rude to each other, it's a family site where we should always try to help each other.

Yes $80 to $100 for a pair of shoes can definitely be shocking to someone who doesn't wear shoes. I completely understand. I would check the stores after Christmas. They might have after Christmas sales. Like I said, I would at least try on some adidas shoes (like the one I linked earlier in this thread) I think you will be impressed. Just my honest opinion though. They are towards the low end of the price range for good quality shoes.

This is bobistheoilguy.com, not chevyboy14scollapsingarch.com.

Seriously though, you might find you get better answers and more information if you make one thread per specific topic/question. Multiple threads about the exact same topic leads to fragmented discussions and clutters the board. It's a favorite tactic of the resident troll as well, who we know you hate being associated with. I'm at least giving you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't one of the aliases of said troll.

The two threads are very different. First one he asks if anyone has a collapsing arch, second thread he asks about a good pair of shoes. Two very different threads. If he had just added the second topic to the first one, then not very many people would have seen it. I wouldn't have.

chevyboy14scollapsingarch.com????? Let's respect each other. That was one thread, not an entire website! What he means is while the two threads do have some similarity they are still very different.

I bought these tonight. I looked at every shoe in the store despite the prices. I ended up with these. They were 49 bucks but were normally 89.99. They were in sale and I had a discount card.


Also thank you clutch disc its nice to know there are some people on here who actually have some decency. I am glad you joined the board. I enjoy seeing and participating in discussions with you. As for the everyone else I hope you dony critize my purchase. I took what everyone said and applied ot the best i could. I tried every shoe they had and slowly worked it down. It wad either these or a pair on nikes they both fit good and i would have been happy with either but I went with these because they were 20 bucks less .

The titles may be different, but the subject matter is definitely the same. He could have given the first thread a proper descriptive title (ie: "What are good shoes for a collapsing arch?"), and simply bumped it to the top with the update. The OP isn't all that receptive to the advice given in either thread, so what's the point anyway?

If this was the first thread like this, I wouldn't have said a thing, but there are a couple people who routinely ask for advice, ignore given advice, then make another thread asking practically the same question and apparently expecting a different answer. It clutters and dilutes the quality of the board when a couple people make a whole lot of threads that end up going nowhere for the same reasons every time.

i know you and a few others rattle off [censored] like that. how i never listen! but its not true and you know it isnt. examples the ford ranger i didnt buy because of your advice. or the piston soak stuff where overkill recommended the ac delco engine spray, or even this thread leaky seals recommended a soft sole. which these shoes have. so i obviously do listen. now if 20 people reply with 10 different things to do i obviously cannot listen to everyone. i have to take advice and tailor it to my own personal preferences. i ask questions to learn from others and sometimes just to get a different perspective. if you are butt hurt because i haven't followed something you have said in the past i apologize. i do listen to all advice and my my decisions off of the advice given. and asking about collapsing arches and then a week later asking about a comfortable pair of shoes is two different things. it would be like me making a thread about a sludge issue and then asking for a good high quality oil. its a similar relevance but different. and as far as cluttering the board. i personally believe you and a few other typing the b.s. that you do on my threads and me having to waste time to answer to you is cluttering the board. making topics that could benefit others is not cluttering. my topics are no more cluttering than topics like what was your last oil change or my personal favorite whats your favorite oil threads. no one whines about those so lets not whine about mine. i would like to encourage you and anyone else who wants to further this discussion to PM me as all this off topic stuff is causing clutter and i would greatly prefer not cluttering my conversations. thank you for the understanding.

thank you. i appreciate it. i took forever my wife was complaining which is the opposite of how it usually is but i wanted to find the best i possibly could since i am sick of the constant foot pain. i dont expect these to fix my foot problem and do still plan on going to the foot doctor but in the mean time these will make it more bearable.

I've been here over 6 years. If you click on "view posts" under my username, then "topics created," you will see that the number of threads I have made totals 20 pages.

You have been here less than 2 years, and your list of threads created totals 34 pages.

Maybe just stop and think about adding on to a thread you already made recently about the same subject instead of making a new one every time? You might get the more complete answers you are looking for.
 
I have linked similar topics before and I never got good feed back like that. Make thread specific topics has alwasys equated to better answers. I linked my front end clunk topic with a tie rod question and haven't got a response yet. I have tried it and it never seems to work for me. I don't doubt that either I am on here more than most people I ask a lot so sure I have a lot of threads.

Right, linking to an old thread never really gets you anywhere.

Try more descriptive thread titles...one phrase like "collapsing arch" or "a good pair of shoes" doesn't tell people browsing the list of threads much. A descriptive statement or question like "What's a good pair of shoes for a collapsing arch?" tells people right away exactly what the subject is. Making multiple threads on the same subject, which this is, and hoping to get more answers that way is equivalent to spamming.

For what it's worth, if I thought you were trolling I wouldn't bother responding or offering suggestions.

I hope the new shoes work out for you.
