I have special feet and these are my new special boots. And they’re awesome!
It took the shoemaker over 6 months to make them, but they’re perfect. Someone’s gonna be hiking everywhere soon 🙂
Yes, I know, they’re just shoes. But they’re something special to me. Today is a good day!
that’s wonderful! i wish you many years of happy hiking ^^
also waaaaa prosthetist sounds like an absurdly interesting job!! you may have just opened my eyes to a potential career path!
Thanks!
I would have liked to become a prosthetist. It’s at the intersection of machining, modelling, technical problem-solving, electronics, biology, medicine and social work. It’s more often than not at the cutting edge of technology and prosthetists get to help real people with real problems.
But my professional life took different turns, and now I’m close enough to the end of it that wouldn’t make any sense for me to switch career again. Particularly considering the degrees and the years needed to become a certified prosthetist.
