I can usually handle the pain, but for some reason my steel toed shoes cause excruciating pain in my big toes. Even if I change to my regular shoes at the end of a day at the museum, my toes still kill me. They still hurt now, two days later. Even barefoot, they hurt some. I need to see a podiatrist about this.

And it's not that the steel shoes are pressing on my toes, either. They have plenty of room to move around in there. I've tried padding them, but it didn't help.

Does the sole of the shoe flex much at the position where your big toe joint sits within the shoe ie. where the toe meets the foot proper ?

Cheers, Mike.

I think that's what my problem was, and still is on some shoes, the shoe itself flexs and as I walk my big toe rises up to touch the top of the inside of the shoe and over X number of steps it hurts.

Hi all,

Just popping in to say hi. I've been offline for a bit. I'm in Georgia attending engine school and will be here until the end of May.

Laters,

Phil


Howdy Phil,
Georgia ? Well Hell, try to stay out of South Ossetia and Abkhazia while you're there. Those are bad neighborhoods.

Here's a Ham antenna you should build in your backyard. Your neighbors will love it !

I always thought that if you lived out in the 'Boondocks' that
satellite internet would be the way to go but,
apparently you did not have very good luck with it ?

A number of years ago, my

A number of years ago, my then boss and I were offered a satellite dish by the local cable company. As their office is just across the street from our athletic practice fields, we walked over to look at it. It was much bigger than were were expecting, standing on a concrete pad; we didn't even go in to talk to them about it. We just walked back over and forgot about it.

BTW, winning!

MOST dishes for homes now are the smaller 2 foot max diameter things, the companies have gotten better on their technology end so there's no need to use a huge dish anymore, in most cases.

I went on vacation once to a house with Dish, when the thunderstorms came thru and stayed for two days and the Dish stayed out due to no signal getting thru, I decided no Dish for me. It was not fun being cooped up with two kids and a wife with no tv in a vacation home with nothing around us.
