That 3 km walk in bad boots last week really fucked up my back, I was nearly in tears by the time i got home. Had to rest up a lot this. :(

On a positive note I have improved my PT exercises. :)

too scared to even try the boots with the new cushions ,

on a positive note I have 2 pairs of hiking sandals for warm weather

not snek proof tho and where I walk has many sneks , not that I have seen any, will use sandals and stomp around

Yeah that’s sensible. Boot cushions can be tried around the house first if you’re ever ready? Though I wouldn’t blame you for sticking to sandals/sneakers forever
