You and me, both. There was no message board to lead me astray in 1978, and I did okay. And for the record, I've just put my shoes on for the past 43 years. This "lockdown" thing is a mystery to me. These aren't ski boots, right?
OK, calm down... first you suggest I open an Ebay shoe retailing store and now you are inplying that I just put any old shoes on my feet. Slow down there, buddy. The reason I'm not doing that is my feet are weird and I have a tonne of injuries. I do not want to create yet another injury by wearing something improper on my feet. Thus, I reached out to the illustrious letsrun.com for advice and once again my faith in humanity was restored because I got some very useful replies (especially the one about the Escalante 2.5).
No, they are not ski boots. I do not like to ski. But I do like to try to walk without pain, and shoes seem to have screwed me over in the past.
