neoprene footwarmers

4.21: gear/shoes:

. try new shoes with

small shoe covers reused as socks:

very warm, reminds of yellowstone park,

where my feet were too cold with

boots and wooly socks,

but were doing great with

something much cheaper:

put foam from backpack strap under feet,

use plastic bag as a sock, and wear sandals .

. the neoprene shoe covers prove that

my old dry feet still do sweat .

10.29: proj.gear/neoprene footwarmers:

. these were meant for outside the shoes,

but I accidently got a size way to small;

however, they do fit wearing them like shoes ! (with socks)

[11.3:

... but later I would find they can attract odor easily] .

10.30: proj.gear/neo.shoes/fitting inserts:

. the neoprene shoe covers had no soles,

so I had added the inserts taken from triking shoes .

. now, after having problems with the inserts being too large

(not fitting without a wrinkle),

I'm cutting the inserts to exactly the size of my feet .

10.30: proj.gear/shoes/slit to fit neo.shoes inside:

. the neo.shoes are very warm,

and will be good for inside shoes when much colder,

but they are cramped just eno to block circulation;

so, add slits positioned to extend the shoe's tongue

all the way to the tip of the shoes .

. the slit fabric lining under the leather shows through now?

remove much of that fabric in the toe area .

. found more thorns in sole? use clippers .
