I decided to walk 25 miles in someone else's shoes, mostly along a nice flat grade rail trail that I've bike along many time but never walked. My friend, Moussie, came along for company (because he'd never walked that far at once either and is always game to try anything), and Listener met up with us twice along the way to drop off food and a route correction map (because he is super helpful and was a bit worried that this would turn out to be a bad idea). It took us 10.5 hours (with two 20 minute breaks).

Here are 25 photos from my journey, with a letter to the first owners of these shoes. After finishing this walk, I decided that I could really start thinking of them as our shared shoes instead of her shoes that I've been borrowing for 15 years.

p.s. I totally agree with the previous taskers that this one is a lot more fun with company along, and that comfortable footwear is a must along with sunscreen. I'd also recommend lining up someone who can come pick you up partway just in case difficulties ensue.
