Lifting engines weighing up to 325 pounds off the ground and into the back of a truck unassisted, so that I ended up needing a back brace most days; running on concrete, so now use arch supports/orthotics for my feet, and working my hands so hard , I required carpal tunnel release surgery on both wrists. I wear my shoes in the house because I suffer quite a bit of foot pain, and the arch supports/orthotics relieve most of it. I take my shoes off, like now, sitting at the computer, to let them dry out. I just came in from an hour or so of carving some wood. But I wear shoes everywhere, and only walk without them to the bathroom at night. I'll get some rubber thong slippers for my feet for the upcoming 37th anniversary hotel stay (this weekend), since I don't want to walk in other people's sex drippings on the carpet or shower stall or bath tub there.
Hey, you beat us to the alter by a couple years. We're coming up on #35 (on 9-11, hey we had it first).
I have duck feet, super wide and pretty short so this white man definitely cannot jump. Can't buy a shoe in a store for the most part. So I try to spoil them with good quality shoes like SAS. But in the summer I'll wear my sandals - forget which brand but they're wide enough and have a real sole like a solid shoe. I have some sneakers which fit and a pair of hiking boots which fit now that the bunion on my right foot has pushed the seam out beside the ball of my big toe.
