New Shoes

2023 marks the first year with two new shoe posts! - Although the post in February was reporting a show swap over in December 2022. This firmly marks me as having a pair of shoes lasting about one year.

I swapped to a new pair in November 2023, which more-or-less is a year after the previous replacement. The replacement shoes for (early) 2024 are different - I have gone this time with Mountain Warehouse Outdoor Walking Shoes, and the principal reason for change is price. These new ones were available for about half the price of the previous ones

The main change during 2023 is that I started taking Baclofen in the middle of the year.

I note that my left shoe (which is on the right of the photo) is worn the most, which is common with other years. The right shoe is worn much less, and there are several possible reasons for this:

• The difference is due to the Baclofen, making my gait a little easier
• I'm walking a bit slower, and therefore my precision is better.

I suspect that my mobility aid use will start/change a lot in 2024, and we'll have to see if that makes 2023 peak shoe wear.

Lining up all these different photos in order shoes the similarities and differences in the wear.
