I hope this post fits this forum.

I am an avid user of a treadmill and have now put over 150 miles on a pair of shoes that impress me. They are the step in type. No laces to tie and truly work as advertised. They squeak a bit on the treadmill but I use noise canceling headphones so problem solved there.

I have back and knee problems so tying shoes is a pain in the well back and knees. This problem is completely solved. Game changer for me and I hope may help you.

Pain sucks and every little bit helps.

I played, and abused my body when I was young ( 50 years ago) I can hardly walk now without proper shoes.
I wear Hoku now. Expensive, but solid

Im leaning towards the new sketchy ones,
Im just worried about the sole.

I put my feet in there while waving my hands in the air like I just don’t care.

Just an observation. If vertigo effects you this type of shoe may save you some dizziness. Did for me.
