Something in my bootie

I like wearing this animal print booties in the winter they keep my feet and ankles warm. However, this morning something seemed to be stinging my foot. I was looking inside to see if some insect or something had gotten inside of it, and saw nothing. I know it isn't my foot, because when I took it off and walked without it it didn't hurt. I was just checking them again. It might have been a tiny piece of cat litter. That can be sharp if you step on it. Did you ever step on something sharp you had no clue what it was?

Lots of times. And always when I have bare feets All manners of things Cat litter was a common one A 3 pin plug I didn't see left me in much pain Spectacles, that's a recent one, glass is quite sharp when it breaks

The worst thing I ever stepped on believe or not was a toothpick. It pierced my skin.

Yup and it's frustrating when you can't find out what's stabbing your foot.,

Sort of. It took about three minutes to examine my foot, and dig it out of my foot, but it was an earring back. I don’t know how it embedded itself so deeply. I’ve stepped on them before, and nothing happened.

My first thought was what did Nico put into your bootie?

Heh. Many times. I have also had the "invisible shrapnel in my shoe that I can't find" experience many times.

I hope you found it and got it out of your bootie. I've had those sharp pebbles in my shoes.

I know, and it hurts anytime you step down on them.

Sometimes a bit of gravel will get under my foot.
