I have been going to Marathon Sports in Wellesley or Cambridge for years. Their sales staff is well=trained. They look at your old shoes to assess the wear patterns and then watch you walk and recommend exactly the right shoe construction to match your feet and gait. Leslie Turek On Mon, May 9

I think it's like any other plant; if they're happy where they are, they will thrive and continue. If they're not happy they will die out. I'd be inclined to leave them alone and not move them. Leslie Turek Sent from my iPhone. Please pardon typos. > On Apr 28, 2022,
