Shoe Issue

I am ambivalent about my Dr. Martens. They're now a half-size too small. So I have to wear thin socks with them or else I lose circulation in my toes. But thin socks allow for some mighty uncomfortable chafing on my heels. I remembered this after a 3/4-mile walk into downtown Ann Arbor. I'm sure whoever saw me after I came out of Borders thinks that I had some unfortunate accident or that one of my legs is shorter than the other. Reason would tell you that I should stop wearing them. But you know how long it takes to break those bitches in, and accept for the heel thing and a little bit of squeezy toe, they're just right.

On a lighter note, I now have three of my Xmas gifts purchased (a whole three weeks in advance) and I managed to go into Steve & Barry's and not buy anything.
