yesterday, I wore my clarks sandals, 2.5 heel, 3/4 platform that I've had for about 6 months. Always comfortable, un-noticable with jeans, ideal,I thought, to visit Cardiff and meet an old friend.
On the 2 mile walk to the railway station, a stone dug in my big toe. We walked 3 or 4 miles around town, by which time I noticed my feet getting a little sore under thier balls and outside of the heels. My jeans had also rubbed my inner thigh, and it was with relief I returned to central station and caught the train.
On the walk back from the station, the discomfort was such, that I removed my shoes, luckily some of the route was across fields, only slipping them on to go over gravel.
The caution?, don't assume comfort from shoes used on short trips, or worn all day at home, will let you hike several miles. I have three small blisters, one large blood blister to prove this point.
