A high quality “expensive” pair of shoes is one of the thriftiest ways to spend over $100 because if you have good shoes it reduces stress on literally every joint in your body. Please do not ever thrift-OCD yourself into wearing bad shoes
I have to give the hardest possible plug for Orthofeet here. My fiancée introduced me to this company when I was lamenting the fact that it feels difficult to find orthopedic shoes that aren’t kinda fugly and unfashionable. These are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn and for both pairs I own there was very minimal breaking-in needed, they were just comfortable right out of the box. I walked around a ren faire with hills and uneven terrain for several hours in these ankle boots and I felt about the same level of tired I’ve felt after walking around in sneakers all day.
They’re not cheap shoes, but almost all of them are under $150 and it’s 100% a worthwhile investment. They have a pretty generous wear testing policy—you can wear them up to 60 days and still get a full refund if you don’t like them. There’s also lots of different styles so there’s kinda something for everyone.

My family in Gaza is struggling more than ever… Winter in Gaza is harsh…
The rain falls without mercy, and the cold finds its way through every crack. The rent is overdue, and we fear being pushed out into the streets — in this freezing weather, with no warmth, no protection.
We barely have food or clean water. Every day is a battle for the basics of life.

I am still pleading with every person who has a heart and compassion to feel our pain and help us continue my mother’s treatment.
Time is passing and no one is taking action.
Please, do something. Just think for a moment—what would you do if it were your mother?
