Well it forget to make the shoes dirt and water repellant, but otherwise I have those. Not to bad if it isn’t to warm outside, grate autumn/spring early winter shoes.
Sneakers/Tennis/Running shoes that have automatically pop/retracting heel wheels like Heelys
You lock your shoes together a certain way to engage the wheels which lock in place so you can skate around. When you’re done, you lock in the opposite direction which causes the wheels to eject and swing out to rest on the top of the shoe so it stays out of the way.
You get the ultimate tactical shoe that you can run and play sports in which also also double as Heelys when you need them to
Optionally, make the wheels electric powered as well lol
Something breathable like canvas but it is more durable than leather. The soles are as tough as possible while staying flexible enough to accommodate squatting. The soles are designed to be replaced multiple times without damaging the rest of the shoes.
It would have a composite protective toe, few to no seams, and laces that can snug it up to your foot if you tug them and hook them, but the shoes would stay on if you don’t do anything to the laces. Like, they just wouldn’t be as supportive without snugging them up.
It would have aggressive arch supports, or else come with several different inserts for different arch support needs.
Also, very wide toe box designed around normal toes, not squashing toes into a narrow or unnaturally shaped space.
I just want basic running shoes that are $30/pair and will not change in any way for the next 40 years. Basically, I just want a pair of New Balance shoes on sale from joesnewbalanceoutlet.com for the good old price they used to offer 3 years ago. The only problem with them at the moment is they have raised the price floor to $40 and the style rotates too much. I just want the same stupid thing every time.
Some key features:
a little rubber around the toe to keep the puddles out
breathable top
cushy bottom
dont change
I hear a lot of this BIFL for shoes stuff. I have no intention of keeping my shoes longer than 6-9 months. At $30/pair, they are disposable. When I accidentally step in dog crap, they become disposable immediately.
I also have no interest in leather. Might last a long time, but for me it is like putting a ziplock bag on my feet and it turns into a swamp real fast.
My favorite shoes are the Red Wing Iron Ranger's. I worked for them for 3 years and when I left I was gifted my second pair. They're great shoes in everyway. I only wish they had an 8 inch version available in the states. They had one back then in Europe, but nothing stateside. My two sets and the pile of other shoes I got when I worked there have been going strong some years on so I haven't boot shopped in a while, maybe they finally took my advice and did it.
