The last couple years in the factory my work shoes were killing me, I can not imagine going back to shoes ever again!!!!!!! When I put my foot into a regular shoe, my foot instantly feels like it is suffocating and starts to sweat. My feet are free and its hard to give up freedom once you have experienced it.
As you near 50 years old in life, you care less and less what others think...that is the first step to freedom, ignore what others think!
