a minor gear-related gear grinder is when I see dudes wearing exactly the same running shoes as me, and they're clearly the current model and not some old used up pair, but they're being used for non-running tasks, e.g. yardwork, walking to the office, working retail in a store, etc. it's their money and they can do whatever they like, but I treat my new shoes like rocket engines or nitrous oxide tanks, and I just can't bear to see them strapped on for pack mule or patio duty. I also get that they must be really comfortable for casual use, but given how generally garish the colors on these things are, I can't imagine wanting them on unless it was clear that I was about to rip up a pathway.

Yeah, pretty much just want to do a reset on the toenails. I would happily have them pulled out if there was some pain free way of doing that. Otherwise it's the closed toe clogs.
Ha. I kind of see why people now buy super expensive, obscure brands to separate themselves from poseurs. It's like how everybody is carrying around goodlife fitness bags or lululemon lunch bags.
Anyway, on kind of a cool note I finally broke 20k on a run last Friday and felt pretty good afterwards. Still seeing virtually nobody on Strava though.
