Day 6. I thoughI I'd offer a little update on Sperry zero drop shoes and me. So far, the Sperry's aren't faring well. If you recall, I'm the guy who was first outfitted with orthotics back in the Cenozoic (to be more precise: the mid-1980s). Consequently, my joints have become so used to the corrective heft of the orthotics they complain (ache) if I'm not wearing them. My new Sperry's won't take thr orthotics. As a result, when I wear the Sperry's, my joints hurt. I change shoes, put my old Sketchers (with orthotics) on, and presto! the hurt goes away. I'm not giving up on the Sperry's; it may just be that I'm not a guy who can wear zero drop shoes. I empasize: "I'm not a guy … " to underscore how we;re all individuals; that zero drop may not be right for me, they may be The Shoe for someone else. So on it goes: the Perfect Shoe Quest! 🙂 –Ray (@ray666)
