The nurse suggested lamb's wool slippers, mentioning that some of her other patients had good luck with those. And indeed, I have a pair of such slippers which I generally wear around the house and which are one of the kinder items on my feet.
So why not? I'm not proud. I'll wear my slippers on the street.
Big mistake.
I walked the three blocks to the pharmacy to pick up some drugs I need for Vietnam wearing my slippers and my feet may never be the same. Walking around the house is clearly not the same and walking the streets, and having my feet sliding around inside the slippers completely trashed them. They could've been made of goose down, lamb's wool and puppies and it wouldn't've made a difference.
So it's back the work boots and the Cons.
* For those who have known me for a very long time, yup, they're the same pair I bought in college.
"Good in theory" falls under the same category as "seemed like a good idea at the time"...never turns into a good thing. Not worrying how things look can be liberating, but sometimes there's a reason that things don't look right to begin with...other people have learned the hard way already. Enjoying your posts!
ReplyDeleteTrue enough -- though with some Crocs on order from Zappos, I'm still going to have to get used to not worrying about how things look. They may be comfortable (I hope!) but those are some ugly shoes.
