Dear Feet
Dear Feet,
I'm sorry for the way I've mistreated you this past week. I realise that the only way you had to raise your concerns was to start swelling and growing blisters. Oh yeah, and that abrasion that became a horrible mess.
I know that it is not -- by any means -- acceptable to be standing from 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM, but unless my hands decide to become elastic enough for me to reach from one end of the lab to the other, I have no other choice. Besides, the long hours have worn me out; I fear that if I allow myself to sit down, I will fall asleep as soon as my butt hits the stool (pun not intended), and the lab will burst into flames. I know that you need to breathe, but given my track record, wearing open-toed footwear means putting you at the risk of having chemicals spilled on you, and having you burst into flames.
I seek your understanding and cooperation in this matter, and hope that you will at least be able to stop cramping up every half-hour, or while walking on any inclined surface.
Once again, please accept my apologies, and know that I will make it up to you when this is all over; I promise to buy you a pair of Birkenstock when my thesis is complete.
In agony,
Me

Lovely! I am such a birkenstock addict. It is the most comfy shoes i will ever trust and even into rainy days, it is non slip!!
Take care of your feet. Women are more prone to foot problems than men because of their shoes.
