Off we went for a walk today, to try my new walking boots out again.
As they gave me a blister on my heel on our last walk.
We decided on a circular walk from Cambridge via Quy fen.
I was very upset when after about 6 miles my heel had another blister and was very painful.
Still I carried on and we managed a 15 mile walk avoiding any bad weather that had been forecast.
Walk route can be seen here.
Once home we decided to take my boots back to field and trek, to see if they could offer any advise.
As I wear men’s boots they say the problem was the heel of the boot just did not fit well on a female.
After explaining I always wore men’s boots and had no problem with my Asolo Flame boots.
which if you rememberI had returned due to a fault.
They had replaced these with the Asolo fugitive but obviously my feet did not like these boots.
Eventually they kindly agreed to exchange the Fugitive for a new pair of the
Asolo Flames.
So today really was my lucky day. 🙂
They must have been bad boots then!!!
You were very lucky to get such good service Sally. I remember once doing this walk with you and Geoff, I hope you had a lovely time.
So true James and you should stick to the boots you know work, a lesson learnt 🙂
In your game, the right ones are absolutely essential.
Yes Cherry pie, I always wear a liner sock under my walking socks….
Oooh! that’s great 🙂
Just wondering do you wear two pairs of socks to stop blisters?
