    I endorse Hydropel.

    How many monkey butlers will there be?

    One at first. But he'll train others.

    I do have a pair of light weight Merrill hiking sneakers non goretex lined. Problem I have, is that I'm always rolling my ankle outward. The tall leather boots give me ample support. My long term approach to fixing this, involves using a balance board at the gym.
    “Well, I'm walkin' down the line.
    I'm walkin' down the line!
    An' I'm walkin' down the line,
    my feet'll be a-flyin',
    to tell about my troubled mind.”
    - Bob Dylan

    Save the dessicates from bags of beef jerky, etc., and put them in your shoes at night.

    Harden your feet by walking barefoot (check with your doc if you've hip/arch issues). You'll have tough "trailer park feet" in no time.
