Foot Health
One reason we wanted to come to a our current location is so we can wear sandals year round. It is warm enough here to do so and the tourist-oriented shops sells them twelve months out of the year. We have long favored sandals as much as possible because we find that closed shoes promote smelly, itchy feet — in other words, skin infection of some sort. With our “sandals preferred” policy (combined with all the other things we do), our feet have gradually grown healthier and less prone to problems. With increased ability to favor sandals, we should see additional gains. As an unexpected bonus, walking in the surf (in either sandals or barefoot) is causing my feet to heal in unexpected ways. What I had thought was callouses seems to have really been some kind of infection. The depth of dead-looking skin is thinning and pinker, healthier skin is emerging, especially on my heels.
