I’m looking for a nice shoe to replace my current Asics Gel -Keyano 27s. I basically wear these shoes for everything from long walks to yard work. They served me well, but it’s time for a new pair as these are worn out.

Any recommendations? I was looking at allbirds, but not sure I can make the jump.

Thanks!

    I just got a pair of Vibram Furoshiki that I’m loving so far. I haven’t tried running in them yet, but plan to in the near future.

      interesting, i didn’t go with vibram because i assumed the climate would be bad for “everyday” use. also i am not too impressed with the build quality of my v-runs. i actually had to get me socks for them because of eg. rubbing off skin on the back and the sole / glue of the sole hurting the toes. i think v-track were my first… they have been good enough to run without socks.

        FYI, I tried a short run yesterday in those Furoshiki. I don’t recommend for running. My foot was sliding inside all over the place. I felt very unstable. I’ll be using them as slippers/walking shoes at most.
