It really changed the park experience I was surprised. I have new Clarks Sandals now (as of five minutes ago from Harry's), "Air" so I am in great shape. Did well going down the sidewalk on Bway. Can't tie my shoes in the morning so I am much more sandal person now. The big question. Socks or no socks? I'm still to shy for people to be looking at my toenails in public. I mean they are gross. These old Clarks I got for my trip to Maui when I turned 50 in January 2001. Afterwards I mainly wore them as house shoes. But a big chunk missing out of the bottoms. - - from my iRabs.
