Shoes

[Guest guest]

Hello, I do not have shin splints, but I do have flat feet and nodules on my toes & ankles. I wear walking sneakers. They cost about $90 a pair. When I'm done with them (but they are still wearable) I bring them back to the store, get 10% off on my next purchase and use it as a donation b/c the shoe store donates them to a homeless shelter. They are really worth the price because my feet are happy in them!
