Two Items You Should Never Do Without

While travelling to the city centre in a bus yesterday I overheard the driver saying:- If you need two items only they are good comfortable shoes and a good bed. I couldn't disagree with him.

Because if you're not in one, you're in the other!

You'd be cold walking around though, wouldn't you? The shoes mightn't get much use.

Wait ‘til you’re my age and if the shoes don’t suit you, you can resort to shuffling around in slippers. I’m off on a trek in the Galtees since earlier.

There was a time when I really wouldn't have understood the bus driver's opinion on shoes. That was until I got an orthopedic pair. I now stand corrected.

If I may add to go with the the shoes don't forget to also include a good pair of socks
I've started walking myself recently as I can't seem to get my head back into cycling and am up to a daily 10Km walk now
and apart from having the right footwear for the job, socks with the correct padding are just as important as the shoes

And I presume the same logic applies to buying a good mattress don't forget about the pillows!!

I have good shoes. So good I went out and bought them in a different colour, same size.
I am now onto that second pair...
I am dreading the time when I need to find my next 'good shoes'!

I never thought of good shoes as an essential everyday item, but clearly they are. For years mine have been Meindl Respond or Rapide. Also good socks, e.g. Bridgedale. But two other items you should also consider are a good 120 db whistle such as a Fenix NW20; essential to summon aid if you are lost, trapped or being assaulted. At night it would be prudent to carry a 3000 lumen torch, such as a Fenix C7, which will illuminate anything you are likely to encounter when you are outdoors, or if you are investigating a noise in your property, and its strobe function can summon aid.
