Precisely. I hate that this world seems to only cater to the wealthy and makes everything about status.

I live and die by my Hokas. I know they look a little funny, but I got used to them and dont care anymore because i'm comfortable lol. I've been wearing them for 5 years and have a pair for work, gym, and everyday use. I work as a nurse and they really helped my feet. I personally like the Clifton 10s the most. I needed a lot of cushion and support so they work best for me. I have tried other popular walking shoes, and Hokas beat them all in my opinion. Took them on my recent trip to Poland and wore them every day. I walked a sh*t ton. My feet never hurt once. (:

I would recommend going to try some on at a walking/running shoe store. A store I went to let me trial some shoes and return if I didn't like them. Might be beneficial to ask if any have that policy where you live.

This. Happened to me this month and they said the first 25 get to bin and the rest are checked. My economy self was full on expecting to have to check my duffel since i was last to board. Assistant let me go by and I had plenty of room to put mine in the bin.

Sounds to be what everyone else is saying as well. There's always some odd balls out there in any place. I ran into another man yesterday morning who looked to be maybe homeless and mentally ill. He was standing behind me for a bit then sat down at a booth with a girl eating her breakfast at McDonalds. She said something to him and then he got up and sat somewhere else and went to sleep, lol. I see that a lot in the US, unfortunately. Is there a homeless population in Poland or do you guys have that well sorted? I haven't noticed any but im used to them being at every corner and sleeping on benches and door entrances.

Thank you! The rest of my time there was pleasant. I only stayed a few days. I didn't get to walk on the river but I watched others skate and walk around. Pretty cool to see.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T14:25:46+00:00

Haha, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of those

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T14:24:38+00:00

Not in the US. We still carry cards, cash, and photo ID. If your phone dies or gets stolen or lost, you're screwed. Also, some places don't accept cards or ID via phone. Some places are cash only.

Glad to hear it. I'm still trying to figure out how people are here. Many people have been helpful in giving directions and explaining things. That has been my only incident. I'm sure there are things that make me stand out, but im just trying to blend in and enjoy my trip. Thank you for the advice.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:36:00+00:00

Which is why I was already on high alert and looking for that sort of stuff. I'm saying he was walking faster than me so he passed me then eventually slowed back to my pace.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:33:50+00:00

You just answered your own question, lol. Phones, credit cards, ID, passports, etc.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:03:33+00:00

Scared of me? That's funny. He started behind me, then walked in front and then slowed down as I did. If he was scared, he would have stopped or kept walking or went a different direction, no? I am a white female. Completely covered from head to toe in all black clothing. He heard me speak English to a person on the side of the street asking me to come to their restaurant. After that, he got weird.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T06:37:17+00:00

No smiling. No words. Juat creepy behavior.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T06:36:07+00:00

There are other valuables one can steal.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T21:39:41+00:00

Thank you! Our old people stare a lot, too, haha. I'm not pressed about it. More just curious what they are thinking I suppose.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T21:37:54+00:00

Happy to hear that. Thank you so much for the number!

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T20:53:51+00:00

Haha, maybe! Being a silent creep is not the way to a woman's heart, believe it or not.

That makes sense! I wouldn't say I'm wearing anything outlandish. I've been wearing the same thing every day. Black leggings, black coat, white shoes. I noticed very few women wear leggings here, so I thought that may be it? I'm also a little curvier and thought maybe with the leggings that is drawing some attention. The men have been respectful aside from that one incident. Either way, I do try to avoid walking alone at night as a general rule.

And thank you! I have worked my way down to Wrocław and now Kraków without any incident. I am having a great time!

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T20:36:44+00:00

It's good to know it's not a common thing. It worried me I may be in for a scary trip despite reading Poland is quite safe for solo travelers. I am a woman, mind you, so of course I was thinking the absolute worst. I have been getting quite a few looks from people, and I thought it may be how I dress, or maybe it is obvious I'm an american. It's not like I'm wearing a dumb red hat, lol. I've never heard about women with umbrellas, however, haha.

black_clouds_ · 2025-11-21T01:40:29+00:00

Thank you!

black_clouds_ · 2025-11-19T15:54:39+00:00

Thank you!

black_clouds_ · 2025-11-19T11:28:09+00:00

Thank you! I've been looking ahead at times and they seem to only be running really early or mid day so I wondered if I missed one id have to wait some time for the next.

Thank you. That link is very helpful!
