The thing nobody told me about shoes for absolute beginners

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 6 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
