And I forgot the joy of of breaking in Doc blisters. Which I have. In very painful spades. The things were on two hours last night. *sighs* definately thinker socks.

ANd on that I really think I'm going to post privately until the end of tax season. I think this half life is killing me, I think I need all or nothing. Hrm, maybe I should shut off LJ entirely - might not be a bad idea.

Food for thought.

Screw the docs, get fluevogs.

[tiamatlady]

The Docs were cheap, and my feet, other than the blisrters, felt great.

I don't like the Fluvogs, I haven't seen a pair I like the style of. It's the white sitching. (I'm aware how silly that statement is with the Doc's yellow stitching)

Maybe I'll get sandles, and wear then with socks *grins*

re breaking in Docs...

First get some Neatsfoot oil...
Get at every tough bit of shoe you can, from the inside if need be, and cover it in the stuff.
Especially the inside of the heel...
and then put some more/as much as will soak in into all areas that rub... and everywhere else.

Leave them for a week or more to sink in, as the leather is very thick...

Then (once your blisters are healed) wear them with a thin pair of slippy socks, (or tights cut offs) and a thick pair of other socks and wear for a short amount of time each day... till they fit..


But seriously - try the neatsfoot oil - it does wonders for softening tough leather in record time, and is very good for it!
I presume you can get the stuff out there too - here its sold in horsey/farmy shops which sell leather/saddles/leather care stuff,... and cobblers often sell it as well...


Hope your feet get better soon!
