Trust me, i'm not sitting around waiting for analysis.
Just between us, I'm also not really sorry. And I don't really feel bad if my comment killed this thread for a while or not. It will rise from the dead, no question about it. However, I'm not really sure why.
However since I'm in a good mood, I see that airborne driver has an unanswered question about his second pair of boots. Maybe I can help...

- DO NOT have those boots looked at. DO NOT buy another pair. DO NOT continue to work to build a calous on that foot at that spot. What I would do would be to get a calendar and set up a set schedule to rotate your boots. On those days when you wear the boots that give you blisters after 2 miles, ruck 1.99 miles and stop. Never, ever do more than that. OR, stop and put a flip flop on that foot and drive on and complete the distance you would have if it wasn't for the fact that it was your "bad boot" day. The bonus to this COA is that you will build extra calouses inbetween your toes on that foot due to the flip flop. Now, this will have you walking lopsided and promote musculoskeletal injuries, and more importantly, make you look like an imbicile, but hey, whatever.
I suppose one other COA would be to stop and put on your boot from your "good" pair and finish up, but then you'd have to switch and wear your "bad boot" for part of your "good boots" day to even out the wear. Man, what a mess that would be....unless someone has created an app to keep it all straight. but without iPads or iPhones allowed at selection, I don't think that this COA would be very good.
Good luck!
