I've been walking 4.5 miles a day, 5 days a week since Jan 2nd. As of today, I have lost ~53 pounds, gone from being pre-diabetic to normal levels, lost my entire wardrobe in the process, and finally my Vans died. They have been loyal a.f.

Glad they helped me on this journey to better health.

Once you find a brand and make of shoe that suits your feet, check online for stores that hold previous models. In the UK there's sportsshoes and startfitness. Previous models will be as good (unless you're a competitive athlete), and can be half the price.
