My feet gave up a couple of years ago, too many flat shoes and dancing like a maniac I guess. Now unless I know it's a short walk I am in my sneakers, orthotics squeaking along holding up my fallen arches. But my feet (mostly) don't hurt! Vans and Converse are for the youth, I'm afraid, 40 somethings are not included in that gang as much as we like to pretend otherwise! 👊😉 Seattle sounds nice, if exhausting!
