Apparently, I am a foot-dragger. This not something I notice when walking, but my shoes – especially, my left shoe, reveal weird and noticeable wear spots on the outside of the heels.
I am
posting photographs of what I call my “kick-around” shoes. They are an older pair I wear for rough
use. I noticed the wear on my shoes when
removing them after applying a whitewash stain to some window trim for our
latest home improvement project.
Clearly,
as revealed by the wear spots, my stride is lazy or abnormal in some manner. Yet, I don’t notice when I am walking.
The wear on my shoe makes me wonder about other aspects of my life. I wonder if, for example, I exhibit an equivalent of strange ‘wear patterns’ in my speech. What shortcoming might be revealed in my sloppy and abnormal handwriting? What weird reasoning do scuff away at without my noticing?
