All I want(ed) for Christmas is my two left feet...

After 14,512,746 steps and 6257.07 miles since July 1, 2005, I've worn out a few pairs of walking shoes (seven pairs, I think) and nearly a dozen pairs of heavy walking socks. I have finally determined what shoes and socks work for me.

Looking at my current pair of shoes, I see it is almost time to kick some new tires... the trick is to find something that fits since my left foot is a size different from my right foot. I wish I had two left feet... or two right feet even, when it comes to buying shoes.

Time for some new shoe shopping, virtual-style.

You may want a pair of these before I get done shopping. They will be good for wading in "stuff".


No, I don't think so. Yellow isn't my color.


My! Aren't these a fashion statement. I guess these were made for all those people that wish for world peace at Christmas and Beauty Pageants.


These are sort of nice, but I can't bring myself to wear something called the Salomon Prosticky.


Hey! I think I finally found the right shoe department. These look good to me. Lets see if they have something with some more ankle support.


Hmmm.. lets try these on. Nah.. to much flash and dazzle. I might get mugged for my shoes if I wear these things.


Or maybe these? Durn, the shoelaces are way too long. I can put the shoes on and tie the knot around my belt. I wonder if anyone in the factory ever tried lacing these shoes up with those laces?


Hmmm... Men's Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots. Ahhh! Oh my! My feet have died and gone to heaven. Let's get these. They are HOW MUCH?!?! Oh well... I guess if I lighten my wallet that much, it is less load on the feet. Time to start breaking these babies in. Keep the Brannock Device* out... I'll be back for new ones in a three or four months!

*the foot size measuring gizmo thingy.

I realize I missed commenting on the Tamiami Trail Scenic Highway. Oh well, I'll get it on the way back!

Now MY feet hurt thinking of all those steps! Holy Cow buddy!!!

Those last ones looked mighty comfy. Gonna need to get myself a pair like that. The sneaks I have now do nothing to support the ankles and if Im gonna be going back to work again Im Definitely gonna need some support there.

Roflmao I loved the post! You wear out shoes like I do needles on my embroidery machine. Yellow IS my color and with lady bugs even! I'll take two (one for each foot ya know).
