Everyone saying “pick up yo feet lazy bishhh” but what’s so hard to understand that not everyone has 30 pairs of shoes and walking even when you don’t drag your heel wears down your soles?

@RedStarr5 2 жыл бұрын

Right, it’s a natural part of walking. Most people pronate their feet slightly when walking so it occurs on the outer edge of their heel first. Most people don’t even wear their shoes anymore and want everything close to deadstock and then just buy another shoe so I’m not surprised

@Dbf1339 9 ай бұрын

Facts if I wore a shoe once every three months of course heel drag wouldn’t be a problem.

Great one (as always)! I bought some circular anti-slip shower 'stickers' earlier this year, they came in a pack of 14 for 7 bucks. The adhesive on these is strong as well, especially if you heat 'em up with a heat gun (after applying them to the soles). And you can just cut them up, however you like. These things surely saved me from breaking some bones, highly recommend it! :D :D

@campkira 4 жыл бұрын

it up to how you do them since too much heat don't do well witht the shoe and that thing would last a few extra 10,000 steps...
