Not so waterproof

Yesterday although my knee looked much better, my doc loaded it up with cortisone as a precaution. It didn’t hurt right away but within a couple of hours it started bothering me and that made for an uncomfortable night. The next day, however it felt fine so I was off for my morning walk. First day with waterproof boots-not so good. After walking through 2 inches of dewy grass for less than five minutes my toes were soaked again. Time to shop: Given my short lead I would up with a pair of all-leather hikers big enough to be comfortable from the start, which proved to do the trick, so I picked ones in a wide width. After my first 6-mile walk in them they actually felt much better than the ones that they had replaced. Good move.
