So, my working at the car repair shop (known from now on as “The Shop”) is getting a bit tough on the ol’ feet. I would say mostly due to the fact that I am, not only on my feet all day, but also on my feet on concrete.

Last week I went and bought a pair of the Dr. Marten’s shoes you see above. They are the maker of what my father used to call, “Dyke Boots”. These are my Dyke Shoes. I had remembered that they were made to mold to your feet and were comfortable. I should have listened to the reviews that said they had little arch support. I also should have realized more clearly, that I NEED arch support. My feet still hurt that Saturday after four hours. After $70, that was disappointing and I returned them. I am sure they are very comfortable for people who don’t care about arch support, but I can’t have my feet wobbling around all day inside my shoe.

I have now found another pair of boots that are slightly less dyke-tastic. The little gusset, though, uck, not what I am looking for. Hopefully it can be taken off. It’s as if they somehow added something of the caliber of a fanny pack to the boots. I’ll let you know what I think.
