For anybody looking urgently for shoes:
I made the mistake of bringing only one pair of shoes to my 2 week Japan trip. Well, it’s day 2 and about 25k steps later and my feet are hating me for it.
I went to ABC Mart a couple hours ago and found myself a pair of shoes that instantly made my feet feel better.
ASICS Gel-Ridewalk Light 2
Cost tax-free: ¥7,990
(I was hoping to add a picture but I can’t unfortunately)
I should add: I am wearing those with insoles for my flat feet, so they feel extra cushion-y. Maybe consider buying a pair of gel insoles from donki or something if you need more support, but they also felt great without them!
I hope this recommendation can help someone who urgently needs a pair of new shoes and doesn’t know which ones to get!
