Vibrating Feet

To combat my increasingly middle-aged wibble wobble I bought this home exercise vibration plate from Amazon.

Here it is, in action, from the calf downwards. I fear that the sight of my undulating fat cells may break the Internet.

Adidas Superstar Slip Ons

I bought these in the ASOS sale last year and have only worn them twice. They're very comfortable, but due to their fabric/elastic construction, they're not suitable for wearing during the winter months.

I think that you'll agree that they're pretty darn funky.

Doc Martens Flora Boots

Last year I bought these beauties. Since then I have only worn them on about five occasions. They're a pair of Doc Martens Flora Chelsea boots, which is a style that I think is still available (sub: please check*). The sole, although the patented DMs Airwair type, is much thinner than in the standard 8 hole Pascal boots.

Here they are after being dusted off a bit.

Please note that I'm au chausette naturel, but that's only for the purposes of taking the pictures. I never venture out in boots sans socks, it's not a thing I'd endorse whatsoever. In fact, I do own some spevial Doc Socks which have some internal padding located at key pinch points.

A little bit about the leather type on these boots; as you can see grom thr box, they're Kensington arcadia rouge, which is a leather treatment/colourway that rubs off during use and therefore gives a marbled effect. I haven't worn these enough as yet, but only time will tell.

Scaly Heels

Last night I filled a large white plastic washing up bowl with warm water (not the same one we use in the kitchen for soaking the dishes, believe me!) and soaked my feet in a solution of Radox bath salts for twenty-three minutes or so whilst watching the inanity of QVC on Virgin Media channel 742. I do love how excited the presenters and the 'stylist' (errr ... who gets to be one of those?) get about clothes as mundane as pull on leisure trousers or a floaty sleeved polyester-rich blouse?

I then sloughed off all of the hard skin from my heels with my Soap and Glory foot file. I had to use the portable Dyson to suck up the remains ... yum!  Anyway, a day on my feet feel deliciously soft and there's no rasping feeling against the sheets at night.

Fluffy Birkies

Last year I was browsing through Amazon and what did I see? A pair of clunky, cloud-like apparitions which turned out to be Birkenstock Arizonas with a full faux sheepskin lining. Yep, they're quite fugly, but boy, they're so comfy and cosy.

Mmm - I'm writhing around in the sheer tactile loveliness. Yum!

Here's the side view ...

Autumn Feet

Hello, it's me again and here's a picture of my feet. I injured the left one last week whilst climbing up as part of cleaning the Venetian blinds. One of the tendons is hurting.

Anyhoo, winter footwear - it'll cause blisters, that's for sure.

Doc Martens Hurt My Feet

Hello again! I have decided to reinvigorate this blog.

Well, as I previously stated, they blooming do. Earlier on today I went for a nice long walk in my Doc Martens 1b99s, which I had definitely worn in last year, but no, they still ripped my poor heels to shreds. Even when worn with special double layer hiking socks:

The other two Docs pictured with my black leather 14 hole 1b99s are Flora Arcadias and Vegan 14 holes. All of my boots are conspiring against me, sob!!!
