Getting back to walking :)

I know 2023 isn't done yet, but it's been a bit of a doozy...so time for a review...of things aplenty!
Getting back to regular walking is proving to be a challenge....heck knows why....we have the will, the kit, the time...it's kinda odd. Anyway, one of the reasons I was (personally) putting off the winter walks was footwear.

Back this Summer I began experimenting with barefoot footwear in an attempt to see if it made a difference to my walking experience and how...you see, my feet hate shoes...of any kind LOL And I think they always have. I sometimes (until trying barefoot shoes) felt like my feet were screaming at me to get out of the shoes I was wearing ROFL  Feet are soo funny!

So, yes, barefoot shoes...I was a bit wary at first, buying a £20 pair of barefoot/beach type Summer shoes...which were pretty good (minus the screaming calf muscles which indicated just a little tension in that area LOL), so I upped the ante a little and bought a £30 pair (you can really see my fear in this area...mainly to do with the prior mentioned screaming calf muscles (really NOT my favourite thing LOL), but also the fear of treading on something sharp...OUCH!).
Then....wooooaaah....last week I just went right ahead and bought a pair of Altra Lone Peaks....steady on there! More for the cold which has presented itself quite quickly, taking me by surprise.....really Ange? errr.....
So, I now have 3 pairs of bare foot/zero drop shoes/boots which allow for no  more putting off the daily walks...you would think hahahahaha

I do have to say though, these shoes are pretty amazing, even after just a few months of wearing them...I shall keep you updated!

That's about it for now...I do have some camping videos to organise and get on here...so keep 'em peeled!

Until then
Take care my friends
Ramble On! 🏕
