It's so funny how different and yet the same we are! I HATE socks. I used to love new white fluffy socks but my feet scream claustrophobia when I have them on for more than an hour and get all hot. Sneakers have almost become little straight jackets. I'll wear flip flops/sandals (I know, no arch support there either, I'm a moron. It's all about trade offs people ) until the first snow and then some!

My feet are either freezing or HOT and freezing is way more tolerable than hot. People at work will comment on the flip flops in November and I'm thinking, do I have to explain my PN to all of these people?! I'm only outside to walk to the car from home/work so it's not like I'm getting frostbite or walking on ice with dangerous footwear. Give me footwear freedom!
