[at-l] Blisters/Sweating WAS New at-l members! :O)

[jestbill at yahoo.com (william fitzpatrick)]

The problem can be really hard to find.  In some shoes I (eventually) notice
that I'm curling my toes with each step.  A change of habit--conscious walking
usually fixes it.

I have a bone spur.  I didn't know about it until I hurt my foot and changed
the length of my stride.  A change of habit fixed it.

If the soles bend in the wrong place you'll end up with blisters even though
the shoe seems to fit perfectly.  It won't make any difference whether the shoe
is tight or not if it bends wrong.

You won't get blisters walking barefoot.

There stands he, his Universe one huge Manger, filled with hay and thistles to be weighed against each other; and looks long-eared enough.
