Treading on Toes

Arghhhh... I have a gripe about Londoners. Possibly this problem could extend to the whole of the country. Why is it that in the summertime when I wear flip flops or sandals somebody always ends up treading on my toes or heels?

This problem doesn't ever seem to happen in the winter when I wear proper shoes or boots - only when my toes and heels are exposed - or perhaps I just don't feel it when they tread on my shoes or boots?! I'm not sure!

And it's not even that I wear really flimsy or rubbish summer shoes - I usually wear my Birkenstocks, which have quite a high edge all around your foot, encasing it properly. Yet people still tread on my heels! I don't walk that slowly, and it's not like you can't see someone in front of you, yet it always happens... someone will tread on the heel of my shoe and I end up half falling over. Worse still, in the past my sandals have broken as a result of this - the force of me lifting my foot up while someone is treading on the heel caused the straps to snap and then I had to limp around with broken sandals that didn't stay on my feet.

So please, even if you're in a rush, look where you're walking! :-)
