There was a thread of older ladies (50+) commenting on a post about how “parents now”

Do not care about our children or their ankles because we do not buy stride right shoes????

And saying how dumb people are now because we would never be able to polish our shoes like they did in their day.

But I personally witnessed one of the ladies almost ruin a work tv because she was about to clean it with windex

And then a lady mentioned that all “we” care about are name brand shoes like Jordan’s and Nike.

And I honestly thought majority of children’s shoes, especially Jordan’s, had ankle support???

Unless it’s not the same as these magical stride right shoes.

And I’m a little insulted, although I know it wasn’t about me. I think it’s just that I work with her and I hear her “advice” all the time on how people “should parent”. And I also hear her speak about how lazy people my age specifically are (I’m 20) for not doing something the way she wants, because it’s literally just not how its supposed to be done.

But anyways, a little off track.

Ignore the drama, I am just curious on your motherly opinions on what shoes are “okay”

My family has weak ankles and my grandmother has always been on me about having shoes that support them. And I thought having shoes that support your ankles was just common knowledge because my family is like crazy about it. But From what I’ve seen, most shoes out now do have ankle support

And I was curious whether some were better than others

And when buying the ankle support, majority of what I can find are sturdy, but cushioned.

Is there something I would want to stay away from? Like less cushion or more cushion? Etc.
