Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I wear Ariat slip on steel toes boots and Crocs... When I have to wear regular shoes they're either Sketchers or Airwalks.
 
you all need to buy a set of HOKAS. so much better on the back. Just got my 3rd pair.
I wear Blundstone's at work.
Feel like nothing on my feet, which I'm on 15 hours a day.
At home, barefoot or OluKai.
Only shoes I own.
 
I have tried them for work but they didn't work for me. Another problem I have that I don't know if it comes from walking barefoot for many years or I think it's more genetic is that my feet sweat a lot and I have to wear 100% cotton socks and breathable shoes.
Me too!
Not the sweat part, the 100% cotton socks, which are hard to find.
 
A long time ago my daughter told her mother that all dad wears is old men shoes and she wanted to get some nice tennis shoes for Christmas. I got a great pair of Nikes. The first time I wore them, at the end of the day my feet were killing me. They became my grass cutting shoes. Man, I look the best in the neighborhood when I cut grass. All I wear is New Balance.
Same here. All through nursing school and 6 years in concrete hospitals

A lot of folks at the hospital wear Hokas, but I've heard mixed reports

Never heard of them (Blundstones) until now. Just looked them up. Which model do you wear?

He doesn't wear a model, he IS the model.

How do they hold up? My wife definitely prefers me in boots 🙂🫠. My feet have never hurt in New Balance but they're 60 to 80 dollars and I'm lucky to get a year out of them.
