These Boots Were Made for Walking

A portion of the Roman Fort
Regensburg, Germany
And that’s just what they’ll do. I am so glad that before we left, I bought some shoes that were designed to be walked around in Fitflops. I bought the blogs version and the boots version. Like the fitflops flip flops they help to align your spine and give you a workout while you walk, etc. Whether that is true or not, I have not yet determined. I can tell you that they are very comfortable to walk around in and do not make your feet hurt. This is great when you are walking into town daily.


The cities are really designed for walking, not for cars. My dad says it is because people were walking long before driving, and then asked how old my town was, we both got a little chuckle when I told him it was in the year 90 that the Romans built a fort here. The town is seriously old, even ancient. Definitely caters to pedestrians.


On Thursday night after dinner, we walked around old town Regensburg. We saw architecture from 179, 1236, and the 1800s. It is amazing to see so much history from literally centuries ago. It is hard to believe that we, as a race, created something that has lasted for so long.
