Over a year after I wore out my last pair of DMs (purple spider-web design) through wearing them every day for two months to shore up a sprained ankle, I finally got around to finding a new pair that met my exacting standards (ie, I had never seen them on the feet of anyone cooler than me. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anotherusedpage, foreverdirt, chiasmata, robot_mel, many others, you have all been responsible for making me feel that a particular colour of boot is forever off-limits). The new ones are neon-pink-and-black spray-paint design, and are proving very, very difficult to break in. I've been wearing them one day in ten and cursing the blisters.
So of course, it's sod's law that I'd go off my platforms again last night and need to wear nothing but DMs for a while. The only way to heal this ankle is to walk a lot in these boots. I predict a significant amount of pain...
(The last time I wrecked an ankle I was stomping home from the abomination that was Valentines-Intrusion-2008. Last night I was in a perfectly lovely mood but still managed to fall off a kerb. I blame the cider.)
Top tips for breaking in boots without breaking my feet much appreciated, at this point!
(Apart from the ankle I am feeling very, very good this afternoon. Work is not, perhaps, happening as fast as it could be, but taking time out to stay in bed until 2pm is sometimes both necessary and fun.)
Psst - Borderville are playing the Wheatsheaf on Wednesday, and are being supported by a band who look like the British Dresden Dolls and sound like darkness and lust. Highly recommended.
