What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise? - Lemmy.World

Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard. And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment. Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

Many people have terrible gaits and slam their heels down as they walk. I don’t know how someone comes to walk this way, as I’d imagine it is comfortable or great for the joints.

Typically it’s due to shoes

I spent a lot of time barefoot as a kid and now I wear barefoot shoes when not at work, I walk on the balls of my feet

My roommate slams his heels into the ground hard enough I can tell when he gets home as I can hear him walking up the stairs outside the apartment

He wore shoes all the time as a kid and primarily wears boots

What are barefoot shoes?
Show threadGormadt

Basically shoes that are super wide for your toes and have no difference in height between your heel and the balls of your feet

They also are typically quite light weight

They take a little getting used to at first but after the little break in period there really nice

These are the ones I’ve got
