Hey all! I’ve been wearing the Authentic Gum Shoes for years and unfortunately can’t wear them any longer, mostly because they exacerbate the bunions in both of my feet.
Has anyone found any other similarly styled shoes that have far better arch/soles? I’ve tried the ultra range and they’re fine, but of course not the same aesthetically.
Other silhouettes like the Old Skool makes my calves cramp up whenever I wear them for long periods…maybe they’re half a size too big, idk
But the Anaheims were the only shoes I brought with me during my trip so yeah, they’re one of my favourite pairs of kicks. I was worried that I might get cramps when I did the Fushimi Inari Shrine hike (stairs…lots of stairs) but no, they got the job done. ^^
Really appreciate the rec and I’m probably going to get a pair! Especially since they’re on sale 👀
Also, a buddy of mine just traveled all around Japan and definitely went to that shrine. Shoes aside, I’m not sure if I could make it all the way 😬
No worries, man.
Oh and honestly speaking, I literally look like a grown version of Russell from Up.
If I can make it up that mountain, anyone can! hahaha
