I think there is one of these in Greenwich Park; I've been calling it the "smiley face tree" because the first time I noticed it, it was in full flower, and the flowers looked just like the ones I think of little kids drawing with smiley faces in the middle - only, they didn't have actual smiley faces. Anyway, will have to go and have a look in April.

Osteopath says MBTs are okay for most people and if they are comfortable I should wear them - one of the things I need to do is really work on my hamstring flexibility, and they will help with that. Similarly Earth shoes would likely help with this. Neither should exacerbate any hypermobility problems. The other consideration is that any shoes I wear with any regularity have to have very well-cushioned soles - Crocs are great for this, but my current Ecco shoes are not (they're too hard). I may be able to make some headway with insoles, which is good news, but if not, then it's going to be "replace lots of ewtshoes" time. Because yeah, I can afford that. (I can afford that more than I can afford to be in pain because of something stupid like shoes, folks...)
