[at-l] recovering after the longer hike

[KAB@concordia-ny.edu (Kurt Bodling)]

Good follow up questions.

Feet fit fine in my other shoes.  Mostly I'm wearing sneakers until
classes start, but I've worn my dress shoes a couple times and
had no trouble getting my feet into them.

Didn't use any insole inserts, so there was nothing to change.
Can't think of any other changes.  The socks I had on the other day
were ones I had with me and wore while on the long hike.

And I don't use shoe trees.  I didn't think the boots were wet
anyway when I got done.  Hadn't rained for a while, and I hadn't
been fording streams or even slogging through mud. I know my feet
give off moisture and that may have been keeping the boots "wet"
until I stopped hiking.
