If the shoe fits....

We awake to a bright sunny day that seems like a great gift after the rain.   We had everything  spread across the room drying - even taking the insoles out of our trail runners.   A quick breakfast and we were on the road.   A short 12 miles to Viana was welcomed after yesterday.  Chris felt like his shoes had gotten much firmer after the rain and I felt like mine were actually softer.  But we gratefully continued on - stopping for cafe con letchie and enjoying our surroundings. He added some mole skin and was sure the shoes would soften up soon.   When we got to Viana we negotiated a room in a lovely apartment and prepared the normal post walk steps - wash clothes, shower, beer....You can imagine our surprise when I discovered that Chris was wearing my 11 1/2 insoles in his 10 1/2 shoes and vice versa.  Yes we do have the same trail runners (black Solomon's) but my Super Feet inserts are much firmer then his standard inserts - including different colors (green vs white).     We survived the walk with only minor foot issues - luckily - but demonstrated a very low IQ (reality).  We debated how this could have happened with neither party admitting fault.   

So just because the shoe fits - you should not necessarily wear it.   Think through issues, analyze results - make changes mid stream - get it right vs get it done.

  1. Haha. That wouldn't happen with sandals. Maybe you need your names on your insoles and an L and R just to keep them straight. Might want to put your name on your under wear also.
