As we noted in the previous post, the replacement shoes came the other day.
On occasion in life you run across things that are remarkable in their ability to exude luxury. I can remember the 25 cubic foot refrigerator that opened new vistas in the harsh arena of cool and cold storage.
Then today I'm out with one of the new pairs of shoes. It was cold and windy; the dew point was not in play and the course sprinklers had not been run last night. And I was a bit cold. Could have used another layer. But my feet were wrapped in warmth and dry to boot -- hmm, interesting word there!
I cruised around the course and felt warm all the way. The highest accolade one can have for an article of clothing is that after a bit of time you don't know you are wearing it. That happened too.
New shoes can break in in a number of ways. I have experienced shoes that do not crease nicely over the toes. But the new ones have nicely begun to wear without any toe joint problems. Another wonderful trait.
To suggest I'm happy would be an understatement.
I also treated myself to some cedar shoe trees this Xmas. I put the trees into the new shoes. They seemed happy together. I intend to rotate the shoes as I use them.
I'm also going to buy some silicone spray that provides some water proofing but it also helps to make the leather more slippery. That will keep them cleaner even if the water proofing is not helped.
That is the shoe saga for the moment.
I have a couple of days off as the holidays once again interfere with the golfing. Very sad.
