I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

Don’t do this: you’re not making yourself stronger when you do this. Change your shoes whenever they feel “flat” with either new shoes or insoles.

    You lost me. The shoes are toast. I have written them off.

    They mean you should change them earlier, do not wait for the sole to completely wear off.

    I had no clue they were worn out until I wore them today, and it was raining and my socks got wet. I hadn't looked at them before. They are always sole down and I just slide them on and do my thing.
