About Sneakers
Final Review of recent shoes to help with right stuffed up ankle, score out of 10:
Hoka Transport, a normal kind of sneaker, not plush, reminiscent of an old Volley sandshoe. For walking around: 6.5/10
Hoka Bondi 9, super plush comfortable, stable, good for summer:
9/10.
Hoka Clifton 10: Less Plush, more towards a normal type shoe, very supportive: 8/10.
On Cloud Monster 3: Less Plush, Weird, not good. 4.5/10.
New Balance 860: Very Plush, better for cooler climes: 8.5/10
The Hoka Bondi 9, Clifton 10 and New Balance 860 have increased my capacity in terms of walking distance without pain: from about 100 metres to about 5km. A big difference.
The Hoka Transport are good for about 2 kilometres.
The On Cloud Monster 3 are just plain stupid. A cool looking stupid shoe. Wallowing. Trippy. Great dirt attractors.

We see that the USA and Europe, the UK, and Australia, have and will totally support Israel no matter what Israel does in terms of proven genocide of the Palestinians, past, present and much more to come. We see that the USA would rather prosecute and sanction fair and decent judges in the International Criminal Court than say a word against Israel. These are the judges we, the world, does all rely on to help balance us against the madness of murderers. That's how things are and I guess how things will remain. The rot of human conscience is deep in 2026. No good can come of this. We do still need, by our best human nature, to rally against the filth of Israel., and the USA Why? Because it is filth, it makes us sick and weak. Why? Because we are decent human beings. Acknowledging evil does not make it pass away, at all. But it does help us to define what evil is in our short time.
