Until today. I stepped out onto the snow that had just become puddles in my beloved Simple sneakers and INSTANT COLD AND DAMP. There is just something about the pathetic-ness of this that is so so so pavs. You feel the wetness seeping into your shoe and suddenly it's function as a shoe has ceased to have any relevance and you are walking around WITH COLD AND WET IN YOUR SHOE. Even when you get inside, the overheated inside just kind of makes your pavs sock a sad, soggy slightly lukewarm mess such that you almost would rather not be wearing shoes at all.
But...it cannot be denied that taking your socks and shoes off after suffering this fate and warming them in a toasty blanket/by a heater/fire/in some hot water is one of the most amazing feelings!
