I’ve worn progressive lenses for nearly 10 years now. I did get one pair on the cheap, and they were truly awful, unusable. That’s when I figured out that going cheap with progressive lenses isn’t worth it. That may be what has happened to you.
Even with good lenses, it takes me a few days, maybe a week to get used to them when I get a new pair.
Stairs are… difficult though, especially going down. I live in a busy European city, so I use public transport a lot, and that means lots of stairs. I can no longer run up and down them like I used to.

I found going down stairs wearing bifocals lethal.
I mean, Im still alive but it was very scary.
