Sneaks to Work

     This sounds lame but let me explain.  My work is messy and shoes need to be comfortable, tough (should you drop something heavy on your foot) and take the dirt.  Clay dust is a wicked shoe hater.   So I've been wearing my hikers.  Not much time to hike so I had to let them go for the cause of a paycheck.  But many, many blog posts ago you might remember me being quite excited about my new kicks.  Mizuno.  Orange accents.  Mmmmm.  Little by little my feet have been getting achy.  The hikers are shot.  I've purged many other shoes the last few years and it left me no choice.  So it sounds like no big deal but the symbolism to me was...it was one more thing to sacrifice.  One more grown up decision to make.  A little bit of sadness.  But my feet thank me and they are rebelling in ways that feet will so I need to start paying attention.  As for hiking and walking...looks like I have an excuse to do some shoe shopping!
