I also wear Dansko clogs.  The gentleman that I bought the shoes from has been in the shoe business for decades, and was very informative to talk to.  After spending near an hour learning WHY my feet were causing me pain, I...

@ Kuan,  Thanks!     I've been at this job for three days now, and none of it seems like "work".  It feels more like they are paying me to have fun all day...and I'm saying that despite having my first day being...
