Hoka Transport, a normal kind of sneaker, not plush, reminiscent of an old Volley sandshoe. For walking around: 6.5/10
Hoka Bondi 9, super plush comfortable, stable, good for summer:
9/10.
Hoka Clifton 10: Less Plush, more towards a normal type shoe, very supportive: 8/10.
On Cloud Monster 3: Less Plush, Weird, not good. 4.5/10.
New Balance 860: Very Plush, better for cooler climes: 8.5/10

The Hoka Bondi 9, Clifton 10 and New Balance 860 have increased my capacity in terms of walking distance without pain: from about 100 metres to about 5km. A big difference.

The Hoka Transport are good for about 2 kilometres.

The On Cloud Monster 3 are just plain stupid. A cool looking stupid shoe. Wallowing. Trippy. Great dirt attractors.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://turtlehouse-john.blogspot.com/feeds/1152285228234934688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/6684372587885033404/1152285228234934688' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6684372587885033404/posts/default/1152285228234934688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6684372587885033404/posts/default/1152285228234934688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://turtlehouse-john.blogspot.com/2026/09/about-sneakers.html' title='About Sneakers'/><author><name>JOHN Fitzpatrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04148452762367606310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNoYXTXixOdgWa8yFkot7bIHVYgXgtWSjqEaKgZZTOEPckJmVZoqj2TnWXtOyNFSKIak_06PmCkhOy80WxiDN7nqzxwsG10KmPYzJRsagcNFRlq_Wet4fi7M-_eYZTofo/s115/314155_2918730327951_1808315538_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684372587885033404.post-741444369009437267</id><published>2026-09-09T19:27:07.655+10:00</published><updated>2026-09-09T19:27:07.655+10:00</updated><title type='text'>We see that the USA and Europe, the UK, and Australia, have and will totally support Israel no matter what Israel does in terms of proven genocide of the Palestinians, past, present and much more to come.

They are huge and vulnerable.
It wouldnt take much for cranky citizens, outside the law, to severely damage them with anything from drones linked to a sim card, so adrone that appears exactly like a phone call, to smartly placed strategic explosions involving elevtrical relays and even water supply. I wouldnt advocate folk to do that, but it obviously is an enormous vulnerability.

We had never had such a collective health problem before in our history, and I believe experts did their best to provide the best rules, advices and intelligent care during that dangerous period, taking into account that it was all new.
A lot fewer folk died than would have happened without the government expert actions. That&#39;s simply true.
Now, out of the woodwork, arise complaints etc based on the bizarre notions of RF Kennedy who is an idiot, a profiteer, a road-kill collector, and an addict with a worm in his brain...&amp; his life history indicates simply that he is not a decent human being.
Dr Fauci in the USA did a fair bit of good, considering the Trump notion of doing nothing except drink bleach and aspire to personal freedom...insane ideas in that dangerous scenario. The unnecessary complexity of the odd &#39;democracy&#39; in the USA added significantly to the raw death count...the Vaccine did not do that.
A million US folk died of COVID, not of the vaccine. We were smarter than the USA, for sure, in Australia, and here in Victoria, and our death rate was far lower per capita. We accepted more control by government, for sure, as that is the job of government...and that was very smart to do. The rest is just advertising for profit and to stoke up the usual dopes, with elections coming soon here and there.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://turtlehouse-john.blogspot.com/feeds/1209784990057668632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/6684372587885033404/1209784990057668632' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6684372587885033404/posts/default/1209784990057668632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6684372587885033404/posts/default/1209784990057668632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://turtlehouse-john.blogspot.com/2026/08/well-done-dr-fauci.html' title='Well Done, Dr Fauci'/><author><name>JOHN Fitzpatrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04148452762367606310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNoYXTXixOdgWa8yFkot7bIHVYgXgtWSjqEaKgZZTOEPckJmVZoqj2TnWXtOyNFSKIak_06PmCkhOy80WxiDN7nqzxwsG10KmPYzJRsagcNFRlq_Wet4fi7M-_eYZTofo/s115/314155_2918730327951_1808315538_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684372587885033404.post-5049519519740071588</id><published>2026-07-05T20:55:03.837+10:00</published><updated>2026-07-05T20:55:03.837+10:00</updated><title type='text'>These are hard times, for sure.
