Golf shoes?

Most kicks are going to happen with the top of the shoe, or the toe, so what's happening on the sole has less effect. Also, once you get to stomping, cleats et al are just gravy. The meat is the crushing and breaking.

Stilettos could be cool--just that the rest of the fight in them would suck.

I'd go with steel toed boots.

eta: Was there a new Grey's last night?

In a stomping situation a spike heel could probably do some serious damage. Kicking would require a heavier shoe with a hard toe.

or ... what ita said.

The internets hates me today.

And someone is cooking something in the microwave that smells like burning rubber.

And OH HOLY CRAP I have a lot to do in the next 4 days. I've been in denial, thinking it wasn't that bad. It is. Oh yes, it is.

Survivor - Yul rubbing the mud off his torso was a thing of beauty. Mom and I were both drooling. And we agreed that Jonathan was surprisingly hot -- his eyes were amazing. I have a feeling Ozzy is going to run the immunity challenges so I expect to see him and Yul. Unless Ozzy worries that he couldn't beat Yul in the votes and tries to vote him off, but I don't see that happening.

Was there a new Grey's last night?

Nope. It was the Denny's Dad and Izzy's check and Meredith's appy rerun. And I had missed the part where she tells Derek and Finn that George is an excellent kisser. And I'm sad cause now I'll never know.

Grey's was a repeat.

And steel-toed boots are a classic.

I've had cows step on my feet, both when I was wearing steel-toed boots and not. It does make a difference.

Mythbusters did a segment on whether steel-toed shoes would amputate that end of your foot if there was a sufficient shearing force. Their conclusion was that it would, but most likely the shearing force involved would be sufficient to amputate that part of your foot without a steel-toe protection. Conclusion: wear them in any situation where they might be a good idea....

I finally got the CBS streaming play to show me all of last night's Survivor. Looks like Sunday finally sees Yul, Becky, Sundra and Ozzy having problems. But it's inevitable in the game. I think Jonathan has probably been the most pragmatic player they've had yet. Well, maybe not pragmatic -- he's made some pretty dubious decisions -- but he's one of the few players to really take the "I'm here to win this game, and I don't really take anything personally, and nobody else should take what I do personally" attitude. I think that attitude only works if more other players feel that way, but then CBS doesn't get the manufactured drama they want, or if you make smarter decisions.
