Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Hinotori]

I have found that Nordstrom sizes work for me and they have narrow, regular and wide. Most importantly, they have leather. But, I don't skimp on shoes. My balance is not so great these days, so I am very particular.

Mom said she had to buy Clarks for me as a little kid as they were the only ones that didn't fall off. They aren't a cheap shoe, but Amazon has sales and I'm really good at checking. They make a nice loafer style.

I cannot have any pressure on the tops of my feet anymore. Wearing Birkenstocks for 30+ years caused me some issues with bone spurs on top that became bone plates that the nerve runs over. Laced shoes cripple me in a few weeks of wearing.

I'm exhausted after painting on the house today. I went through about 2/3 of a gallon of paint, on my feet for four hours or so and painted about 7 feet up the siding.

I'll pull my truck next to the house tomorrow and stand in the bed and paint a few more feet above that. My son will do the ladder work and paint the high stuff.

There's not much going on in the garden. This cooler weather has slowed things down. There'll be more beans to pick sometime in the next week.

Shoes? I wore shoes that were a little too narrow for a few weeks and it caused a bunyon to start forming, so now I have to wear wide shoes to prevent pain.

I'm not surprised. It was 90 here today. Too hot for that kind of work.

Shoes matter.

I was told Ma would buy shoes that where too small as my heal is so narrow she did not want my heal to slip.
I did wear birks allot always loved them still have a pair.
I broke my foot dancing in soft shoes.
It is bone in the top of the foot you see it after it heals,
a white spot on the bone.

Trick with phone for pics is use night mode. Its long exposure and can see better than you.

I just see a light haze in the sky when I look

Wow we have all been friends here allot of years.

You all make my life go on.
Sun has come out here.

I know what you mean PennyJo! Most mornings the first thing I do is check in here ! Unless other forces have made other plans, lol

They absolutely do! No hoof, no horse! Same goes with People. I’m so grateful to have the privilege of living in the age of the running shoe! I remember the first time I put a pair of Nikes on I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.

Years ago my podiatrist told be wear rebocks I have had a pair many times.
I can still feel the weakness in the foot I broke years ago in the arch.
