Flip Flops

Normally, when we go somewhere, i.e. store, walk, festival, etc., RT puts on one of his million pairs  a pair of gym shoes.  He has many to choose from, but, he has his favorites for each outing.

The last couple of outings we went on, RT chose to wear flip flops.  One of these outings was a festival, which is definitely a gym shoe wearing situation for him.  It was odd to see him in flip flops, but, I'm sure they kept him cool (it was a balmy 90F).  Later that day, we decided to take the dog for a walk (because walking around a festival in the heat wasn't enough torture for us).  Half way through our walk (that is normally a short walk, but, Bella decided we should explore as much of the 25 miles of trails as possible) I noticed RT was wearing flip flops again.  I said, "I never knew you were a flip flop wearer."  He replied that he's trying to be more flexible and fun when it comes down to shoes.  He then started telling me that he made the wrong choice because the skin was starting to chafe between his toes and he's probably developing a blister, too (TMI).

I think it's probably best he take his time when it comes down to being a flip flop wearer.  Maybe start out slow and wear them once a week to some social outing/occaision.  He can gradually work his way up from there.

And maybe he can get rid of some of the millions of shoes that he has collected over the years...
