I exchanged the shoes, only to find out they are not fucking skid-resistant in the way that I need them to be.
That sounds bad…
Reminds me of when I got a nice pair of elastic sided leather boots years ago. They were great for horse riding and comfortable as anything to walk in, but with the leather soles they slipped around on smooth surfaces like a pair of roller-skates. On wet grass it was like walking on ice.
But at a shoe repairer, the guy there just added a thing layer of this grippy rubber stuff and suddenly they griped any surface like velcro! I've still got those boots and they're still great. -except the elastic is a bit loose now on the side of the left one.
You couldn't get that done to any old shoes though I suppose, they'd have to have fairly flat, plain soles to start with. :(

My cat is limping badly… Looks like a trip to the vet. WOW… and just after I finished spending over a grand on Christmas presents… Ah well. Better book a taxi and set up an appointment. Poor little bugger. probably needs nothing more than an antibiotics jab, but I still have to get him down there. :(

Cheap. $85 it cost only (heh, I'd have paid anything though :)). Apparently it was only a cracked pad. All he needs is painkiller and bathing. If I'd have known that I could have looked after it myself. Ah well, knowing is all the battle. That's what the vets go to vet school for.
