The New Balance aren't doing it anymore and the flip flops just don't have the support plus I've tripped in them a few times and don't want to fall.
What's your go to for everyday wear?
Recently, I have bought used golf shoes with nubby soles at thrift stores for wearing outside when doing yard work. They are high quality shoes and are built fairly wide, which I like. Outside in the grass, they are perfect. Inside I wear socks and the kind of flip-flops that does NOT have a rubber post between toes. If I am working inside at a work bench, I will usually wear a wide tennis-type shoe and I tie the laces to the side of the shoe so that they can be slip-ons.
