Today I walked barefoot from Southport to Preston, approx. 8-9 miles, possibly more. Why just I enjoy a challenge; and I’m a fucking pleb, my feet are in rather a lot of pain.
Yes I had footwear but decided to carry my willies instead, which after having carried them said distance they proved much more troublesome than expected.
July 26, 2013 at 9:06 pm #1274864What the fuck, damn you auto correct! It changed wellies (wellington boots) to willies ROFL.

Ahahaha! I think auto-correct itself should have a place on this thread, it comes up with some classic cock-ups!

No mate, I only noticed it as I pressed send, but I’m glad my subconscious is a right clever fucker!

a guy from where i live never wears shoes and is a bit of a local legend; ‘pete the feet’. he’s makes lighter cases with a foot logo on and gives them to you if you ask. heres a vid of him..

loses a bit of cred with me when he says he doesnt like music at all, i just can’t comprehend that, but the guy is still a legend
July 27, 2013 at 2:12 am #1274866I only watched up until 1:15 before I liked it.
July 27, 2013 at 10:50 am #1274856My boss rarely wears shoes!

No his boss is a horse with sore feet.
On that note why do we shoetulise (I needed to invent a verb there because I don’t think an appropriate or specific one exists) horses on a regular basis? Bit biased not to give shoes to chameleons, baboons, whales and Albatrosses too. In fact all female animals would probably love a pair of shoes. We’re such biased bastards exclusively producing shoes for humans and horses only. Maybe there are other farmed animals that are granted shoes from time to time but this market should be available for all creatures.

Good idea mate, but it produces a dilemma: do you give them shoes made out of their dead relatives or mix it up a bit? I wonder if that’s what Jimmy Nail was driving at when he did ‘Crocodile Shoes’?
Incidentally, I tried to step on a horse’s foot once, it wasn’t very successful. To paraphrase a well known line from A Few Good Men, ‘You can’t stand on the hoof!’

We give them the option of just like humans have. In fact I say we need to make shoes from a greater variety of hides, skins and leathers. Would love a pair of puffer fish galoshes.
July 27, 2013 at 2:34 pm #1274869And minus the tentacles jelly fish slippers would be comfy as fuck. But really awkward to walk in if pissed or on Ket I would imagine

Why does that put me in mind of this…

Because if they are not shoed with iron (note correct irregular verb, “to shoe”) then they tend to split hoofs when moving across stony, hilly ground. On the flat mud it’s OK, but when there’s a change of surface there’s more chance of having a nasty fatal accident (for the horse).
Of course we could just obliterate all uses of concrete and tarmac everywhere, dig up every loose stone and throw it in the ocean, but it’s a lot less work to shoe the horse. Ever tried hammering molten iron? It’s not easy work.

Not trying to sound a smart arse but I’m quite aware of why we shoe horses; I was brought up around them as my mum is big into horses, and just about every other animal.
However how do wild horses manage? Do they avoid rough terrain or just endure the pain when necessary? This I don’t know.

I’ve never shoed a horse, but I once told a bear to fuck off!
