Employed adults wear shoes without
Velcro, elastic or buckles; and shoes that can be put on without a
butler demurely and deftly wielding a shoe-horn. As such, longish
pieces of string are a necessary evil we carry around on our
foot-tops.
But caution. When the end of the string
goes around the axle, the consequences can be severe. Athletes
with quads the size of River red gums have had their whole body
pulled into the mechanism, in some cases up to the armpits. This is
one of the least comfortable ways to lose a leg, survivors say.
BONUS TIP: Upsides: The
calf muscles of titanium prostheses come with jaw-dropping definition
welded in, and there is no need to shave.
