Thanks to @Bearetta for a fun joke and the inspiration to comment on the calendar!

For beginners’ HIIT (high intensity interval training), the Topo (brand), Aura (product), has worked extremely well for me. It is not heavy, like a 1970’s Converse, nor is it a, “barefoot,” shoe with no support. The Aura has some comfortable support without being heavy. Its Toe Box is incredibly roomy without being excessive.

Propet: Men’s Connelly

Bitly muttered something about Amazon using, “auto-brandiing,” that I didn’t understand. Here’s hoping the Bitly shortening still gets you to a Propet Connelly on Amazon. I haven’t used anything else for my daily shoe for 20 years; I simply cannot used anything with a narrow toe box.

BTW, the way I measure mug volume is to weigh it, filled to the brim with water - and - empty, on a gram-accurate kitchen scale. The difference, the weight of the water, is close enough to the mug’s volume in ml for my purposes.
