I wore my USAF issued black jungle books hiking over the weekend. To compound the impact of the crappy boots, I wore some inserts that I've never worn in them.
My feet are messed up!

Aren't you supposed to break in a new pair of boots before putting them to the test?

They are broken in, but I forgot that my VA issued inserts don't work in jungles....
