It loves me or it doesn't loves me

With this title you will think that I am plucking a daisy or that today is about feelings.

Maybe I am.

Or maybe not.

Although looking around, it is true that we are, and I include myself, more sensitive.

    Maybe it's because of the weather. Winter and melancholy are words that often go together.
    Maybe it is because of current affairs. What can I tell you that you don't know.
    Or because of life. The same one that makes you enjoy and suffer in equal parts.

But it's not about feelings, it's about a test, as simple as putting on the least minimalist footwear you have.

The one with the highest heel, narrowest and stiffest you have.

So that you can experience again how your feet felt before.

Just that, to feel. Without doing anything else.

In my case, I rescued some hiking boots from the back of my wardrobe.

I thought I had thrown them away, but there they were.

Waterproof and with Vibram soles.

Sturdy as a rock.

And with only 820 grams per boot.

The pair weighs 1.64 kilos.

Almost a kilo per foot!

The "heavyweight" of footwear.

If 50 grams already affects the movements of the foot, imagine 1000 grams.
 
Just with this is enough to make you cry... in the end it's true that this article is about feelings.
 
If 2kg rucksack on my back is heavy, just imagine it on my feet.

I felt clumsy.

I walked as if I was riding on two stilts.

You know the children's game of walking on two cans tied with ropes grabbed with your hands?

That's how I felt, but instead cans: boots. Even they made the same noise when I walked.

Of course, with so much big boots my foot didn't feel to the ground and my toes were trapped, I couldn't move them.

And walking the ankle practically didn't work, it didn't move. There was any flexion of them.

And this is very serious:

When you move forward and your ankle doesn't flex, your knee will turn inward to continue walking.

With time, this rotation can become to lateral meniscus damage, just where the knee moves.

And you're also more exposed to sprain it.

All because you're wearing the wrong shoes.

Although I only wore the boots for a while, my sensations were a sh.... bad thing.

They say there is no better medicine for appreciating what you have than not having it.

Detachment makes attachment.

In love.
In family.
In shoes.

And how right they are!

And in your case, what have you felt with that old pair you had in home?

Have you dared to try?

If you really want to feel where you step and protect your ankle from a sprain, there are two alternatives:

Both with the most sensitive and puncture-proof sole on the market:
