In Response To: Other: Heel pads (Tom Johansen)

Mouse pads will work better than the softer foam I had - it got torn up finally. Then two weeks ago Jeff broke my footbrace (he's learning to roll so I forgive him) and in the re-do, I ground out the soft foam.

Ive noticed that with neoprene booties on, I dont seem to need foot pads. When I paddled barefoot a lot, I did, but anymore I always wear something on my feet.

: I had a couple of old mouse pads laying around and I thought rather than
: throwing them out, I would use them as heel pads in the yak as my heels
: tend to get sore.

: Just thought I would share the idea with others.
