How many shoes do you have?

More than 10.
One less than I had last week.
My oldest pair of sneakers, the ones with the holes in the soles and the velcro that didn't work any more, died yesterday when I put them on.
I put on the right one and looked down and could see three of my toes.

Make that possibly two less.
I was involved in some heavy work and wore my old pair of steel toes work shoes (not the boots) and the steel toe cup on them had been bent at some point and spent a couple of hours rubbing on my left foot.
When I got home I checked and inside I could feel where it had been damaged, and, upon inspection, you could see where the guy running the pallet jack had tried to drop a full pallet on my foot.
I'd forgotten about that little adventure several years ago.
If I can't 'unbend' the top cup, they have to go.

Thank goodness for those steel-toes, eh?
but...not totally fool-proof.
Once upon a time I worked with a young lady at an aluminum foundry; mandatory there for everyone to wear steel-toed boots.
She just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong split second. A crucible bale slipped off it's hook, came down & hit right across the section of her boot where the steel was.
Mashed the steel toe so badly that it completely cut off all of her toes.
One of those "freak" accidents I reckon.
