Re: A poll--shoes off?

You all might want to look at Japanese tabi boots (or ninja boots as the
martial arts stores will tell you).  They're basically cloth 'boots'
with a big toe split from the other toes and flat rubber soles.  Light,
comfy, and sensitive enough to hit small switches while standing on one
foot in the dark.

How amazing, how amazing!
Hard to comprehend that
Nonsentient beings expound Dharma.
It simply cannot be heard with the ear,
But when sound is heard with the eye,
Then it is understood.
