“Go outside. Don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone. Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand, because we walk the same roads day in and day out, to the bus and back home and we cease to see. We walk in our sleep and teach our muscles to work without thinking and I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked and I dare you to notice. Don’t try to get anything out of it, because you won’t. Don’t try to make use of it, because you can’t. And that’s the point. Just walk, see, sit down if you like. And be. Just be, whatever you are with whatever you have, and realise that that is enough to be happy. There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window. You’d be a fool to miss it.” Charlotte Eriksson

I really like to walk in unfamiliar places … lots of new discoveries.

Yes, you are a walker and I believe you do. Altough, I would not recommend theses sandals for any lengthy walk.

Love the quote but with my high arches those sandals would kill my feet on any long walk. Yes, a mile or a thousand miles, we certainly owe it to ourselves not to miss all those things available and to find happiness in experiencing them.

These belong to my daughter, Chris. And, I also could not walk to far with them. Last summer I bought a pair of those five-fingers. I enjoy them but I needed to spend most of the summer getting use to them. Walking is the best!
