I still wear New Balance (widths!) for my morning walk, but it's hot and humid, so off they go when I get home. Then, the crocs clogs go on. But they heat up fast and off they go pretty soon. Those holes don't do much.Yeah. When I used to run, I'd always buy New Balance running shoes because they have width selections. But I was fine wearing regular sized formal leather shoes such as those from Florsheim, but they've run out of favor as synthetic foamy soles became popular for comfort in walking.
I always have Teva as strap-on sandals, although they've wised up and their soles last at most two years before I have to extend their life with Shoe Goo. They used to last ten years and they sure smell bad by then from sweat and dirt. I also like Chaco sandals for the sturdy build and excellent and durable rubber soles. They cost more but last much longer than the flimsy Havaianas.
Back to real shoes, I think they're narrower mainly because the pants and suits are narrower as well. If they stayed as wide, people would be walking around like Bozo the Clown.
Although that may still happen. It may be in the works already.
It's an interesting article for sure. It shows the high percentage of estrogenic substances in baby socks, but identifying the estrogenic substances in these socks do not necessarily mean there is infiltration of these substances from wearing these synthetic socks. Study mentions 90% of exposure is through food, and the remaining 10%, while not insignificant, is considered a "possible" danger. I would like to see a study of how people are contaminated with estrogens by wearing synthetics in normal clothing as t-shirts and underwear, which are the most common use of synthetics in clothing. There are other uses such as in sweaters using recycled plastics in fleece and as gloves. I've used all of them and haven't noticed any effects, although that may not be a good basis if the effects are cumulative and effects are not immediately observed.I don’t know about synthetic fibres in general but here’s an interesting article on bpa in baby socks:
