Some malls/high streets will fail, but the idea that all purchases are moving to the internet - sure, maybe one day when we have the flying cars and stuff; but we're a way away from that. I buy a lot of my clothes online for sure, but that's not for everyone. And people still have to meet people somewhere; retail stores do sometimes feel like showrooms for Amazon but Amazon do need those showrooms to exist. In short, Malls will evolve but they will survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 If all purchases are made online then why is the area where the mall is still crowded like a motherfucker with cars, teenage girls and boys and very agitated people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Some kind of instinct. Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives. I do miss the days of wasting most of money on video games at the mall. Now they are all replaced with places to buy caps, really awful looking goth shirts, and as seen on TV stores 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Lots of academic research has been done about malls being appropriated by people for reasons other than consumerism: from teens hanging out socially to old folks power walking. Also, all the stuff written by Paco Underhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Shoes generally stretch out as you wear them, so that is odd, perhaps you were still growing a bit? That does happen, even up into your mid-20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a lot thinner actually but I play basketball almost everyday and the abuse my feet take from it may be where the problems are from. Trying to walk on my bare heels in the mornings is like walking on jelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculously comfortable and supportive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
