This list isn’t so much about shoes as it is about the people who make them and the types of people who wear them. In my mind, there are three types of people who wear martial arts shoes: the professional, the student, and the casual.
The casual type are the type who just use it as an extra to a pair of jeans. The professional types are the type who want an extra bit of protection against a bad day. The student types are the type who feel like they have to wear it every day to prove to themselves that they can do it.
The casual type might be the type who has a bad day and decides that it’s necessary to wear the shoes. The professional types might also decide to wear them to protect themselves from a bad day. The student types might wear them because they feel like they have to wear them.
The best boots are a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, they can be a great protection against a bad day. On the other hand, if you’re not careful your bad day can be a bad day.
I’m a student type. I just got a new pair of the best martial arts shoes. And they look great. But they also look like they could easily be out of place. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. It’s like when you’re wearing a pair of great shoes and you’re wearing them wrong and they just seem like they could be more comfortable. For me, wearing them wrong is a bad thing.
Okay so it’s pretty important to be in line with the rules when you’re wearing the best martial arts shoes. A lot of people are going “oh I’m a student, I’ll wear my shoes to class” but that’s not really the case. For example, I’m a student in a very rigorous martial arts school, and I don’t wear the shoes that I have on my feet at home. That just makes me look like I’m not serious.
Yeah, this is a good point. Im sure you had that same problem when youre in your 20s, when you were trying to look like you had a handle on your life. I’ve seen a lot of people who wear the same pair of shoes at work and they look ridiculous.
Well, that’s not really the case. A lot of people seem to believe that as long as you’re wearing the same pair of shoes at work, your life is perfect. People forget that at work, you have a different set of expectations.
Sometimes people have to be reminded of their expectations at work. A lot of people need to see how their shoes match their outfits. You dont have to wear the same thing at work. But just like how we can think that our life is perfect when were wearing the same pair of shoes at work, we can think the same thing about our life when were wearing the same pair of shoes at home.
The trouble with this type of self-awareness is that it doesn’t extend beyond the pair of shoes at work. It’s hard to just make the assumption that our life is perfect when we’ve never worn the same pair of shoes, and have only worn them because we have. It’s even more difficult when we’ve never worn the same pair of shoes at home.
