Re: Expensive boots? Cheap shoes? Pffft!
"I'm forced to at least have footwear most shops and locations I have to go, and I MUST wear proper shoes at work."
Much less of that sort of nonsense here, the number of shops I can't go into barefoot I can count on one hand. I remember one job interview where the CEO and the head programmer wore just socks, I felt over dressed. Got that job. B-)
"PS. I'd be scared of hyperactive immune systems as they're the most frequent source of allergies."
My doctor calls it a double edged sword. Yes I have allergies, but I know what my allergies are, and they are things that are easy to avoid most of the time. "I gotta avoid eggs" vs "I rarely catch diseases or get infections" means the bad edge of that sword is very dull, and the good edge is razor sharp. I can't have flu vaccines coz of the egg allergy, but I don't catch the flu anyway, so no biggie.
