sounds more uncomfortable. And having an actual show will hopefully keep my feet more dry"

🚨 And now... the comment GOAT is right back at it:
"I
thought about this one far longer than I care to admit. Story time:
Back in the relative youth of my mid-20s, I suffered an injury involving my big toe. I was in the military at the time (Air Force Reserves) and was at a kickball game during a morale day. "What's a morale day?" you might ask. That is a day where we all get together on the base and talk about the major
things that service members are never supposed to do (if you can imagine whatever is in the UCMJ, you've got the idea). There's also some stuff about mental health on that day, but as you can imagine, it can leave everyone in a somber note.
So, after all that in the majority of the morning, we usually cut off early for some "mandatory fun". Some of you prior service
members had a Veitnam-style flashback as soon as you read that phrase. Well, in my unit, our commander decides to set up a cookout in the base park and we set up a game of kickball.
I set out to kick when it was my turn at plate, but the guy was throwing the ball down to me as if he wanted to pitch in the major leagues. I got mad at that notion, and aimed to kick the
ball so hard directly at him, that it could have been legally classified as an act of war or friendly fire. In that moment that my foot made contact, I completely ruptured the tendon responsible for lifting your big toe. The Hallucis Longus Extensor. I had to get reconstructive surgery and undergo physical therapy to learn how to use my big toe again.
All of that is to
say, it still hurts. I'm extremely careful with it and sometimes still stub a toe that is extremely stiff and full of arthritis as a result of the injury. There is no way in hell that I'm going to stick that toe into a toe-sneaker shoe thing. For that reason alone, I'm going with socks and sandals, even if it makes me lean ever harder into Dad territory than my two daughters have already made me."
