FYI Canvas shoes make feet become too delicate LOL

I had to buy new shoes today. I was wearing Timberland canvas shoes for about 20 years, because they are damn comfortable, especially for driving. This year Timberland got quite ugly models, so I opted for the only good looking model that was more expensive than usual. Unfortunately in the morning I'm quite slow, so I figured out only at home they are thin leather, not canvas, despite looking identical to canvas models.

Long story short. I used the new shoes only for half an hour, and now my feet hurt. I had to keep the feet in water for half an hour to calm down the burning feel. If you like canvas shoes like I do, be careful with harder materials. I just realized that canvas makes feet skin become very delicate after a while.

Good b/c I hate wearing shoes. This makes sense b/c shoes change the natural step pattern so I can see how that could impact the back over time. Coupled with people spending most of their time sitting is a recipe for back pain.

Only slightly related, I had some back issues a few years ago from an injury that only resolved when I started sleeping on the floor. The best sleep for me is a thin futon mattress on the ground. I used to sleep just on the carpet but had some problems with boney areas getting sore if I don't move enough while sleeping.
