If you ' re not a heavy runner or pronate badly , there ' s usually enough support . The issue with aging running shoes is the shock absorption becomes poor as the foam gets beaten up , and that means your joints start to take more of a beating . For nursing , I think the best shoes I ever owned were a pair of Nike Basketball shoes that were the full leather KD model another recycle from sports . Those were very supportive for the ankle , light , and spill proof . Unfortunately , some overzealous cleaner threw them out when I left it in the locker room . <| sep |> Great ! I ' ll check out your review ! Thanks ! !<| sep |> Otherwise we ' d resort to growing things like tomatoes and oranges in green houses heated with fossil fuels so they could be ' local ', and that is just bananas . There is another option , and that ' s don ' t eat tomatoes when they aren ' t in season . Since getting a SPUD box with the option set to local , in season we ' ve had a greater variety of produce than I ever would have eaten if I was just shopping from the grocery store , and even in DecJan the vast majority of it comes from within 200 km . I don ' t need to eat raspberries in November , unless it ' s frozen or made into jam from when it ' s in season . Also , given that our electricity here comes from hydro , it ' s probably more sustainable to eat BC hot house produce in the winter than it is to use fossil fuels to ship peppers , cucumbers , tomatoes , and the like from California best case or South America or god knows where else .
