Drivers- Best Shoes

[ChickenLegs]

OK. Please explain it to me and how driving effects your legs becoming tired.

 

[oldngray]

That is why marathon runners wear heavy boots since weight doesn't matter . Wait ......

So obviously you have never driven and refuse to admit it. If you had any experience actually doing the job you would understand what everyone else has been trying to explain to you. Driving a package car is NOT sitting down and driving most of the time nor is it like working in the hub for fewer hours each day while standing on flat surfaces.

What information did I provide that you feel is incorrect?

He sounds like a center manager....i won awards driving my desk, therefore..I know a lot about driving a package car.

You sound like the normal ignorant union employee who is too stupid to understand or learn actual medical, scientific facts.

oldngray I'm waiting for your response.


Like I've said I'm only providing facts what causes your feet/legs to become tired.

I'd love to know the BMI of all these people saying how lighter shoes makes such a big difference.
They all must be skinny/ripped and can dramatically tell the difference of a few grams in their shoes.

Your feet getting tired does not have to do with the weight of the shoe. Your feet get tired because of not enough cushioning, support and how the shoe fits/forms to your foot.

This post is where you derailed the thread (not a big deal) and started embarrassing yourself.

Nobody said we are meant to wear wet socks. Now you're just getting silly.
My point was wet socks do not cause blisters, shoes which do not fit properly do. Blisters are caused by friction. The friction of the blister comes from your shoe not a wet sock.

Just providing another fact......

So if wet socks play no role in it....then why, in the 8 years I've been wearing the same brand and size boot...do they only give me a blister when my socks get wet?

Because the boot only slips and causes friction when your foot is wet. It's not really that hard to understand.....

Good job providing the normal Union (non-thinking) response, too stupid to understand actual medical facts.

I will crush you!

I have explained before but you ignored it. You have zero experience in what a package driver job involves physically. You spend far more time climbing in and out of the truck and walking over uneven surfaces and up and down stairs than sitting down "driving". And a lighter shoe makes a much bigger difference than it does working inside the building. Which you would have understood if you had any real world experience. You do want a quality shoe but everything else being equal a lighter shoe is often a better choice. As someone else also said in winter wear heaver shoes/boots which is just changing for conditions which is also part of doing the job. You seem to think nobody else has an education or experience but you will find many drivers have college degrees and many have experience in sports medicine so you really don't know more about the subject than everyone else.

Wet, sweaty socks does not cause blisters. Your shoes slipping on your foot and not fitting properly because of wet, sweaty socks causes blisters.

Erm, what in the world does the Union have to do with this? Are you referring to Union Podiatry? You continue to embarrass yourself as you just called me "too stupid" immediately after using a comma incorrectly. You should probably just log off and head to bed, or at least have a few beers so you can blame your posts on that.

He sounds like he has a promising future as a PT sup.

And a center manager...plenty of time to study up on body mechanics while you keep your office chair warm while waiting for your conference call.

Lets go back to my original post-

I'd love to know the BMI of all these people saying how lighter shoes makes such a big difference.
They all must be skinny/ripped and can dramatically tell the difference of a few grams in their shoes.

What part of this is incorrect?

If you're talking the difference of seven pound boots vs. tennis shoes I'll concur you may be able to actually notice the weight difference.

Again since nobody seems to pay attention-
A few grams weight difference between shoes has nothing to do with your legs and feet getting tired, no matter what surface or steps you're taking.

It entirely has to do with the fit when discussing grams of a shoe.










Again....I'm talking the difference of grams, not multiple pounds.

Should I repeat the facts again for the simpletons who can't pay attention......?
