I went to the doctor yesterday to get new orthotics that would serve their original knee purpose, yet maybe would alleviate recurring toe pain a bit more effectively than my super old ones.
It turns out that a bone in my toe that is supposed to be square is a rectangle. I knew it was longer than the others, but it's kind of cool to see the culprit bone that I am unable to punish or reprimand or rehabilitate (depending on your view of the correctional system).
The best part of the visit (other than being asked by two separate people, "are your feet really always this cold?!?" and being told that it is good for me to sit in the warming house and drink cocoa a ton when engaging in winter sports due to my poor circulation and increased propensity for frostbite) was getting confirmation that my new biking shoes are the right size.
I bought big cycling shoes recently and was worried that maybe I went a little overboard since it sometimes feels like I'm wearing clown shoes. But nope, it was a good purchase, it seems.
