Skechers just dropped prices on its best walking shoes for National Walking Month

May is National Walking Month, and if you've been meaning to upgrade your walking form, decent shoes make a big difference. Skechers is running a sitewide Buy One, Get One 50% off sale right now (or 20 percent off a single pair) to celebrate the month. This sale includes the GO WALK line, which has a name that doubles as good advice. This line of shoes was built specifically for putting in miles on foot, with arch support, firm-but-cushioned midsoles, and that Slip-ins heel design that lets you step in without reaching down.

The robust cushioning in Skechers GO WALK Glide-Step 2.0 Venus (Women’s) has benefits all the way up your leg. The See It Venus is the best straightforward deal in the GO WALK lineup right now. It's already marked down 20 percent to $79.99 without a promo code. It's a laceless knit slip-on with Skechers' Hands Free Slip-ins heel, so you step in and go. If you're looking to build a walking habit this spring, this is a low-commitment entry point that won't wreck your feet or your wallet. Note: this particular shoe is excluded from the BOGO promo, so the $79.99 is your final price.

The Slip-ins: GO WALK Max Cushioning Arch Fit Jesper (Men’s) is the top-of-the-line men's option here, and the one most worth pairing in the BOGO deal. It's $120 at full price, but buy it alongside any other pair and that second shoe drops to half off. That's two pairs of GO WALK shoes for $180 total. What sets this one apart from the cheaper Glide-Steps is the Arch Fit insole (removable, podiatrist-designed) and the APMA Seal of Acceptance, which means the American Podiatric Medical Association actually reviewed it.

The Slip-ins: GO WALK Max Cushioning Arch Fit Areena (Women’s) are also available from $94.99. These are the easiest shoes you'll ever slip into, thanks to the Slip-ins heel design. The Areena is a great option for women looking for comfort and support during their walks. The Slip-ins heel design allows for a quick and easy step-in, making it perfect for those who want to get moving without any hassle.

The Slip-ins heel design is particularly fantastic for anyone who has mobility issues. It allows for a natural gait and reduces the risk of injury, making it ideal for long walks or daily activities. The GO WALK line is designed to support your feet and provide the necessary cushioning to make your walks more comfortable and enjoyable.

In conclusion, Skechers' Buy One, Get One 50% off sale is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to upgrade their walking shoes. With the GO WALK line offering arch support, firm-but-cushioned midsoles, and the Slip-ins heel design, these shoes are perfect for National Walking Month. Whether you're a casual walker or an experienced hiker, Skechers has something for everyone in its extensive collection. Don't miss out on this sale, as it's a great way to invest in your health and well-being.

A simple way to get more value from metrics

We spent one day 1 building a system that immediately found a mid 7 figure optimization (which ended up shipping). In the first year, we shipped mid 8 figures per year worth of cost savings as a result. The key feature this system introduces is the ability to query metrics data across all hosts and all services and over any period of time (since inception), so we've called it LongTermMetrics (LTM) internally since I like boring, descriptive, names. This got started when I was looking for a starter project that would both help me understand the Twitter infra stack and also have some easily quantifiable value. Andy Wilcox suggested looking at JVM survivor space utilization for some large services. If you're not familiar with what survivor space is, you can think of it as a configurable, fixed-size buffer, in the JVM (at least if you use the GC algorithm that's default at Twitter). At the time, if you looked at a random large services, you'd usually find that either: The buffer was too small, resulting in poor performance, sometimes catastrophically poor when under high load. The buffer was too large, resulting in wasted memory, i.e., wasted money. But instead of looking at random services, there's no fundamental reason that we shouldn't be able to query all services and get a list of which services have room for improvement in their configuration, sorted by performance degradation or cost savings. And if we write that query for JVM survivor space, this also

Context Engineering for Coding Agents

The number of options we have to configure and enrich a coding agent’s context has exploded over the past few months. Claude Code is leading the charge with innovations in this space, but other coding assistants are quickly following suit. Powerful context engineering is becoming a huge part of the developer experience of these tools. Birgitta Böckeler explains the current state of context configuration features, using Claude Code as an example. more…

What does less protein and nitrogen mean for methane?

Does feeding less protein to cows over a longer period not only reduce nitrogen losses, but also affect methane emissions? Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) investigated this in a multi-year study with dairy cows, funded by the Vereniging Diervoederonderzoek Nederland (VDN), the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LVVN), and […] The post What does less protein and nitrogen mean for methane? appeared first on Agriland.ie .
