So very little incentive to make better and a lot of incentive to make shorter lived/worse stuff. :-( Dave Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383352418070053871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-15299519193371557842015-07-31T09:15:00.319-04:002015-07-31T09:15:00.319-04:00I never thought of diabetics.

I don't like the look either, but it apparently protects his vulnerable feet a little more.<br />I, too, have trouble finding shoes. I wear a lady's 5 1/2, but next to impossible to locate, so I go for a 6. Fitting my post-surgical, still-some-swelling left foot, but the right is a little loose. The brand I find the most workable is quite expensive for my budget, and I only buy when they are on sale, and on-line.

We therefore don the socks, that we may continue to wear our sandals far beyond the limits of good judgement or even common sense, which is becoming less common every day.<br />As we slide towards another six months of utter frozen desolation, we're happy for you in that your sandals are used for the purpose intended and beg your indulgence for our sock sins, they are but a measure of our desperation.The Odd Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088337694057858859noreply@blogger.com
