  2. I love your videos. What I hate is now short you have the name of the shoe up for. Ideally it would be great to have it shown for the whole clip related to that shoe

  3. should be titled ugliest shoe. I’ve seen so many Hokas but won’t give them the time of day bc they’re all hideous with that gaudy logo
