Just Wondering: Why Does It Burn When I Pee After Sex?

It’s common, but not necessarily the norm.

As a kid, few things were more exciting than shopping for a new backpack and school supplies ahead of the new school year. For those of us who aren’t returning to classrooms this season, who says that the kids get to have all the fun?! The seasonal switch-up offers an opportunity to refresh our wardrobes, beginning with brand-spanking-new shoes. Fortunately for both kids and us kidults, 2024 back-to-school shoe sales are well underway to help start the season on the right foot and save some cash.

Stylish sneakers, arch-supportive loafers, cozy boots—you name it, and it’s on sale from brands like DSW, Zappos, and more. Also in the mix are end-of-season sales, which conveniently coincide with the return to school. This means a slew of summer-friendly shoes are up for grabs at a fraction of the normal price, perfect for the late August/early September heat that’s bound to stick around before the temps really drop.
