Gotta Break 'Em In...

My day job is to clean pools and my feet are constantly getting wet. After doing a lot of research online for the perfect shoe, I thought these would be the ones. Really, they are close enough. I didn't expect to wear socks with these shoes since that would defeat the purpose of a quick drying system. However, the first day of wearing them totally cut up the back of my ankles (Achilles heal area). So for a few days I wore layers of band-aids, then had to go to socks. Wore the socks for about a week or so to break the shoes in the rest of the way, and now I'm back to sockless.. They have to be on lose so they don't rub your ankles or toes after breaking them in.. I found that the arch support was actually sharp and gave my foot another raw spot there. I was about to give up on these shoes, but the fact is that they just have to be broken in before the excursion. Wear them around the house or around town first with socks before you take them on a trip, or you'll be sorry you didn't. Unless it's just my feet, who knows. One other thing though.. When I would walk through a puddle or a saturated yard from rain, the water goes up through the bottom of the shoe.. it doesn't just push the water out. Keep this in mind if you are wearing socks because it will make for some stinkin hooves.
