If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have? - eviltoast

Preferably realistic features, but if your perfect shoe involves some kinda anti-grav hover features, I’d absolutely understand.

Heelies? Pfft, check out my real hover-slides.

    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:

    1. a little rubber around the toe to keep the puddles out
    2. breathable top
    3. cushy bottom
    4. 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.
