I found three bucks in the street on a run today. 🍀💸🏃🏻♂️

Organizing my Workout Shoes
A couple of years ago I put this cheap shoe rack in my broom closet by the door out to the garage. It was out of the way and a quick place to grab my bag and shoes when I headed to the gym.
The rack obviously didn’t fit the space, I couldn’t see the shoes, and it was hard to grab a pair if they were not on the outside. This had been bugging me for years.
Today I set out to make something simple to fit the space. Since it’s a broom closet and I didn’t care what it looked like, I used beat up plywood. Turned out great and works exactly as I had hoped.
It felt good to finally make something again!
PUMA Ignite Pwrsport
I started wearing PUMA golf shoes in 2016 and loved them. The pair I bought last year weren’t very good though. When I was looking for a new pair for the 2019 season, I found these. With the golf course drying out, I finally wore them today. The grip was great and there were comfortable. Since I walk most of the time, shoes make a huge difference over 4 hours on my feet.
Allbirds Tree Runners
I’ve been eyeing up a pair of Allbirds for years and pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago. They really are as comfortable as all of their advertising says.
I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a pair of shoes made to be worn without socks, which is exciting for the summer. I’m curious to see how they go through the wash too.
Heelys for Adults
Whenever I see a kid racing around in Heelys I want a pair. I don’t know why I’ve never looked, but they do make them for adults! Unfortunately every size 14 is out of stock.
No Butterfly
Sophie: “Can you put your feet together Uncle Nick?”
Me: Not sure where she was going with it, but I put my feet together.
Sophie: Looking down at my feet and sandals, “Good, you don’t have a butterfly. Sissy used to help me with my shoes but now I know how they go.”
PUMA Golf Grip Sport
Two years ago I tried PUMA golf shoes and loved them. I bought a similar pair last year. Here is this year’s new pair of PUMAs.
They are super comfortable walking around the house. I’m curious how good of a grip they’ll get, but imagine it should be good considering the word is in the name of the shoe model.
2018 Yard Shoes
Each year I retire a pair of workout shoes to use for yard work. This year it’s the Pumps!
How green will they be in the fall?
New Everyday Kicks
New Reebok Kicks
When Reebok is giving an additional 30% off in addition to their end of the summer sales, I can’t help myself.
The CrossFit Speed TR has been my favorite shoe for the gym so getting a second pair for $56 was a steal. The color is called “Vitamin C” and looked a lot more orange-ish on the web site when I ordered them. The color of my photo makes them look even different; they are more of a pink/salmon in person. I’ll rock ’em, because I’m not returning them.
For only $28, the Reebok Runner was an easy selection, especially since my size was available in blue. My current running shoes are about a year old, so might be up for retirement. The sockliner in these has a memory foam, which I’m looking forward to trying.
I love buying shoes. 🙂
