I think there’s actually a direct correlation of people wearing these athletic shoes, especially the really expensive fancy ones in public places and actually not being in shape. It’s pretty funny. People who are truly into athletics or generally wear those shoes only in the particular setting i.e. trail running, in the gym, etc., and then switch into normal shoes.

Most runners I know wear running shoes nearly the whole time. They run in their new shoes, then switch them over to casual use as the cushioning starts to go. And if you're a really keen runner, you'll have different shoes for each type of training (track, tempo, long and slow) and racing (track, XC, trail, mid distance, half to full marathon). So you end up with a constant flow of "worn but not worn out" shoes. Which you wear when not running...

There's not a direct correlation, but most Americans are not in shape. I run every other day. I use my last years Hokas where the foam and cushioning isn't good enough anymore as my walking shoes and use my current year ones for runs. Can't imagine that's uncommon
