I used to hate these shoe threads, thinking that they belonged on a separate Forum. Now that I'm more "experienced", I have begun to realize that I have to take care of my feet, and I need to buy good, expensive, shoes to keep my feet, and ankles healthy. I had a problem with Plantar Fasciitis a few years back, probably due to "cheap" shoes, and I never want to go through that again. For this season I've invested almost $250.00 on three new pairs of shoes, patent leather Zigs, matte Zigs, and good, light, black, "walkers" for my Catholic middle school games.
"Firstly, a pair of good shoes; secondly, a second pair of good shoes; and thirdly, a pair of half soles.'' (Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, when asked the most important part of a soldier's equipment.)
