Thanks to a tennis class near work and my new early morning routine , I ended up wearing sport shoes to work, changing into my formal shoes and then changing back before going home. This way, I didn’t have to carry an extra pair of shoes every once in a while. (All great inventions arise out of lethargy and laziness after all)
The big realization here is that this has turned out to be very positive. Here’s why –
1. My route to work involves a fair amount of walking, some climbing stairs etc and my hard leather formal shoes are not meant for extensive walking on roads
2. After a while, formal shoes tend to tire the legs while sports shoes do the opposite.
3. I feel like I’m going to play! And I can feel my soles bouncing off the ground thanks to the nature of the shoes..
I thought this was pretty cool. It is not without downsides however. I had a couple of friends wonder if it is okay to wear tennis shoes to work. But I’ve decided to keep this little quirk as it has added quite some positivity. And, of course, I wouldn’t feel normal if I didn’t share it here..
