I must have missed something, as I was not attempting to bait the Manolo into the discussion of the Dagney Taggart with my comment. I was merely piggybacking upon a similar comment made in another recent post and meant no harm. Now I am curious, but I will refrain from asking as I do not want to the Manolo to suffer from the ache of the head. Oh!

I have made myself simple shoes and though they are not as convincingly ugly as Oetzi's they were amazingly snug and comfy. I suppose the homemade shoes are always like that. Induvidualized fit and all. Hm. I have made myself simple shoes and though they are not as convincingly ugly as Oetzi’s they were amazingly snug and comfy.

"The main problem is connected with fashion." Indeed. I still think that hay looks horribly scratchy. Not unlike the natural wool socks much favored by the hippies of the crunchiness for pairing with the Birkenstock Bostons. Eerie how the Oetzi shoe resembles the Boston, like viewing an old photo of a long-departed ancestor. Just add hay! To give him some cred, the researcher of the Oetzi shoes does recognize
