Street photography tip: Don't let bad shoes ruin your day

The best street photographs are taken in good shoes. They may even be more important than the weather or the type of camera you take with you. Good shoes can make or break your day, trust me.
If you really get started with street photography, you will walk kilometres in a day for that one good photograph. Struggle to reach 10,000 steps a day? Street photography is a top-level sport. Count on twice that number of steps, easily.
Good footwear is essential for the success of your street photography. Of course, I would rather wear Allstars too, and sure, they look better than walking shoes from Hanwag or Salomon. But you don't get blisters in the latter! You can put your Allstars back on tomorrow.

I have to say though that the more often you do it, the less exciting it becomes. And otherwise, feel free to come and do a live workshop sometime, details are on my website!
