Ever had a pair of boots or shoes that just fit perfectly?  You know, from the moment you put them on, they were your favorites.  Well, my best pair of boots in nearly a decade passed on today.  I noticed my right foot was aching a little bit and it felt as though there was a pebble of something stuck to my boot.  I looked at the well worn soles and found a gaping chasm in the sole.  Not just a hole, but a complete crack from one end to the other.  It was right in the bend of the foot, so every time I stepped the crack opened into a huge maw allowing whatever to creep in. I was both disgusted and saddened at the same time.  I guess the combination of 115 degree heat, blistering hot concrete/pavement, sand/gravel, and walking was just too much for them.
