katherine_b at 08:45pm on 21/01/2005Okay, so last week I went to a podiatrist and got my feet fixed, except now they're softer than before so I feel things under them in ways I honestly haven't for years. Today I went to the airport to see off the girl I am councelling and who is going to Denmark with Rotary Youth Exchange, the lucky thing.
So, mistakes:
1) Heeled shoes, which I almost never wear
2) Padding under the balls that was fine with my old hard feet
3) Having to stand around for two solid hours while we waited for Thai Airlines to get their computers working when I had promised them a good sit-down and maybe a Diet Coke or something.
Result: read subject of post.
Lesson: don't wear shoes that aren't completely comfortable if you have to rely on technology.
*sigh*

Airports are hell on feet - PERIOD! :-p
I think airports are just hell on feet, no matter what.
I was on vacation in Orlando and sprained my foot. I then *complicated* matters be wearing heels that didn't fit right & traipsing around my hotel and then the theater when we went to go see Beauty & the Beast on stage in Orlando proper.
So, I neded up in a wheel chair for the rest of the trip... my mistake was not calling the airline & requesting one at the airport to get my through check-in and to my gate. :-p
The curb-side luggage check guy *refused* to check anyone in, so my friend and I had to stand in-line for like an hour to check in for our flight, then we had to hustle to the total opposite end of the airport.
On a sprained and swollen foot no less! :-p
So, yes - airports are hell on feet. They are not designed for comforting the weary traveller.
