I wore my 1986 Army jungle boots during the recent snow storm. Actually, I didn't wear them during the storm but afterwards. This was fine as I was lazy and didn't tie them up properly. I decided to be "proper military" about tieing them up (even if I've been out of the Navy since the day before Thanksgiving 1988!) and tied them up. This did something to my right foot and kind of deforemed or brused it. I spent the next several days having trouble walking until my foot adjusted to walking when I got up in the morning. That is several minutes when my foot was cramped. (Not very pleasant when I had to get up at 0315!)
I got over it.
Day before yesterday, I noticed red friction marks on the "index" toe and 'bird" toe of my right foot. I put band aids over these friction marks and they didn't seem any worst the next day. I didn't have any band aids available this morning so I didn't bother. (Doesn't that sound like the kind of bullshit that leads to infections that lead to losing one's foot???)
It was hard to tell but these toes didn't look much different tonight.
Anyway, if I'm going to start walking again and lose weight, I'll have to buy new walking shoes. I'm also going to have to get at least one pair of nice, comfortable dress shoes (is that any oxymoron?) and I suppose we'll go shopping when we "do a Sam's Run" to Wichita this coming Saturday.
I deserve good shoes!
I want to keep my feet!!
I don't want to end up like my late Father and youngest Brother!!!
