Re: [Paddlewise] Footwear

I get my Seasoned Kayak Footwear in the following manner.  When my feet start to
hurt in a certain way running, I know it's time to buy new Running Shoes (Reebok
$25).  The old ones then get recycled into my General Purpose Hanging Around
Shoes (Outside and Inside).   The former GPHAS then get recycled into GPHAS
(Inside Only)--basically slippers that feel very, very comfortable and don't
have to be laced to stay on my feet.  Then the old GPHAS (Inside Only) are
recycled into Seasoned Kayak Footwear by being thrown into the garage pending
paddle bag transfer.  They effectively prevent stubbed toes, sandal entrapment,
and basically all other complications of having the wrong thing on your feet in
a kayak.  If I have to portage through irredeemably vile swamp in them, it's no
loss.  Sand, sharp rocks, rot, surf accidents may eventually do them in, but by
that time I've got a couple of backup GPHAS queued up.
