At my age,brand doesn't matter,but comfort is number uno,especially for my feet.I sometimes feel guilty for these feet,being overloaded with some extra 10kg for the last decade. So,the choice is very important.
Physically,I am not that adventurous but at heart I am. To satisfy that inner desire,I do buy some safari clothes and rugged shoes. Today,my eyes caught the sight of a pair of Timberland casual shoes that were selling at 50% discount. I tried and they fit my soles and I felt comfortable. Then I looked at the underside of the shoes to see if the design will provide better grip of the floor.Older people tend to slip and fall easily.The photo below convinced me-so I bought a pair for RM219.
Good shoes-for business wear or casual wear can cost a lot of money.To save money,I usually buy them during sales.A discount of 40% to 60% is quite normal.
Welcome to the club. Timberland. Sooo comfortable but i guess my leg now is too expensive, one cost RM200 :) Both, RM 400.

Memang gitu lah Mas.Yang selesa tu mahal sikit;sebab tu saya tunggu sales.
My other choices are Camel Active and Clark.

Salams AbeDib & friends,
Wahh! Timberland!! Good choice AbeDib!
I have always been choosy when it comes to footwear, sebab tu la saya tak banyak kasut, yang ada tu pun memang tahan bertahun.
Buying during sales and promo is the best was to get the good ones at much less costs.
Kalau Abedib nak tahu kedai sebelah Kino KLCC tu bila time sale you can get very very good deal...I got my sandals (lasak, to replace the last one that lasted me more than 3 years) andhalf the actual price...Rockport all weather leather at Rm150++.
But be very careful when buying Rockport, sebab mostly memang guna kulit kerbau pendek at least untuk lining dia.
