New Sneakers and No Bloody Socks. I have been keeping to the walking each morning.

I have taken to counting the laps and am now able to do 45 - 48 in an hour. There are 12.2 laps to the mile.

I finally received the size 11 6E sneakers. They are New Balance Walkers and are light and fairly comfortable. This is the first time I have had such fancy sneakers and I have to say they do make a large difference in my ability to walk at a fast pace and not get suffer from foot pain.

The boots I have been wearing were certainly comfortable but these sneakers go a little further to assist with the exercise. It does appear that my left foot is just a little bit larger, my big toe is asking for a tiny bit more space. I will go for the eleven and a half next time.

The person that gave them to me, made sure I knew that they cost the state $60.00. I suggested that I would be more than willing to go home and buy my own sneakers.

I finally got a catalog for Hitchcock Shoes, the company that markets extra wide shoes for men, exclusively. I am going to check with them to see if they think I need to get a larger boot if the size eleven sneakers are tight.

Such problems.

There is certainly nothing like properly fitting footwear.  ¶ 10:48 AM
