I wore them all day today (well, not to church) and I have to say this:

Why the hell would anyone ever want to wear anything else?

I’m gonna try to get some work boots/shoes like this to wear.

I was concerned with the snugness, but in fact, they gave me support I didn’t expect- in fact, I think the wider shoes were actually causing me trouble, by allowing the bones of my foot to splay out. My feet feel wonderful.

The garden wasn’t exactly muddy, but the clay tended to get stuck in the cleats. So I’m going to be buying myself a pair of these.
