Testing testing...

I went on a test stroll Easter Monday to check how unfit I am, to gauge how much work I have to do before the Summer.

Eight miles around Ivanhoe Beacon.

...of all...

...types

However, the footbeds inside (or rather under where the footbeds fit) inside my cheap Blacks boots are beginning to disintegrate, and I'll need some replacements soon.

The trouble is I have feet shaped like a duck: Broad at the front, narrow heel, with a low volume. Oh, and a high arch. Where on earth am I to get boots to fit?

Maybe I'll look at lightweight fabric boots from New Balance, Keen, ...

The ideal would be nice expensive custom made ones.
