New shoes! Weird!

I’m one of those people who tends to adapt when things break, rather than doing something about them, and I’m also not big on shopping (except for books). So when I walk and it’s raining, I have these old worn out shoes I wear. But they aren’t leather, and there’s a thin part on the sole, and it takes them days to dry out. So when I put them on, my feet are immediately cold and clammy, and I can’t take more than a few steps outside before they’re wet, too.

But today I bought myself some new leather “walking shoes.” They’re so strange! My feet feel unnaturally warm in them. It’s most disconcerting. Nice that I don’t have to change socks after a walk, though.
