    It's a sad moment when.....

    ......you realise you,ve bought your last ever pair of walshes. My poor arthritic toes can't cope with lack of support on downhills any more, so am having to resort to shoes which don't cause so much agony!

    Ageing sucks!!!

    Hemp seeds are supposed to be good for helping with arthritis. Might be worth looking into and trying.

    you realise that not only will you probably never need to buy another pair of 'decent' leather shoes again as the current pair will probably suffice until they close the lid but that its about time you considered who will look after the youngest cat when you can't anymore. That came as a bit of surprise a few weeks back. My stock of Walshes/Inov8 could now outlast me. Still, thats a whole host of Threads about shoes and headtorches I can now ignore :-)

    Barefoot, there's your answer. I wouldn't recommend racing though!
    Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
