Stones in my shoes

TheCatWoman

Why does it always feel theres a small alp when it's only a small piece of grit? Yes I know there's lots of nerves in the feet, but it feel out of all proportion to the problem. I don't know why, but I always seem to end up with stones in my shoes or boots, the same as I always end up with mucky splashes up the backs of my legs when I wal in the rain.

    It is just because all your weight is bearing on your feet and if there is a stone beneath a foot then it will be a point of contact before anything else, magnifying the effect it has.

    Solutions include stopping the stones getting in (eg tape up the top of your wellies) or having a padded insole to cushion the effect of the stone and buffer the effect it has on your foot.
