I only wear sneakers, steel toed work shoes that look like sneakers and cowboy boots. I don't own a pair of dress or casual wear shoes, and haven't since I was a child.

Pickleball shoes, walking shoes, two pairs of water-resistant Merrell Moab for everything else. One primary pair, one older pair for when I get dog muck in the first pair. On bird walks, at least half the other birders are wearing these.

I have never heard of those, but they seem like they would be nice. I'm a fairly recent Skechers convert. I have a pair of their sneakers for walking, a pair of the composite toe slip on sneakers for work, and basically the same pair except with laces that I wear in the home shop.

Slip-on shoes are a god-send for people with mobility, balance, or manual dexterity issues. Me, I have on pair of slip-on sandals I wear to the pool but otherwise, I'm going to keep bending over and tying as long as I can. "Use it or lose it."

I probably won't buy any more lace up shoes because for me laces are either always coming untied, or knotted so good they CAN'T be untied. Skechers has got the slip on thing down pretty good, and since the wife doesn't allow shoes in the house, I often find myself in and out of shoes MULTIPLE times a day. Even my lace up shoes end up becoming slip on's but it's hard on the shoe.

Know whatcha mean about the bending and tying plus the old, "use it or lose it," axiom. Ten years ago we bought sa golf cart as we are a golf cart friendly community, owning our roads. The only thing it was used for was to decorate it for golf cart parades on July Fourth and Christmas.
Every time I thought of using it, gave it a second thought then decided it was better to walk. Ergo, two years ago we sold the golf cart. Use it or lose it.

When we moved into Mom's house, the golf cart was the first thing to go. I'm convinced my father would have lived longer if he's bought an adult three-wheeled bike for tooling around the neighborhood instead of riding.

It is easy to fall into that trap. There are days when it takes a self-imposed guilt trip to get motivated to walk but once I get going it is easier and the joints start working as they should.
We had that spell of bad weather in January and it was chilly enough that walks were set aside but after a week of not walking, my hips began hurting in the late evening. Once temps rose and walking became a daily activity there were no further issues.
I rode a bike daily for 6 miles and three or four days a week distances of up to fourteen miles. Felt great but last spill caused by a gate arm figured it wasn't as far to fall from a standing position as it was to fall from a moving bicycle and the change was made to take regular walks. In summer months when Florida temps rise to 90s the treadmill in the exercise room is where I go.
