All together now: OUCH! (Other than those assholes who will query why one goes barefoot at such a season....Right, this is a forum, not a haven.)
Why dont you do us all a favor and watch where youre walking next time. You make us real bare footers look like a bunch of candy ass nancy boys.
actually, i'm with nuspieds for once on this one. there's an oak tree directly above my front door, so at this point there's seriously more acorn than ground. i sweep off the sidewalk constantly, but i can't even run out to my car which is parked 10 feet from my front door without having to tiptoe over about 5 feet of acorn shards. not to mention it's annoying to listen to them falling on the roof all night while i'm trying to sleep.
Those little ones hurt, usually if I wasn't paying full attention to where I was stepping in an area with small acorns here and there, but it's usually just wince, ouch, continue. Very occasionally I will have to pick one out of a less tougher part of the soles. No discernible sole damage after that acorn ouch. I also haven't had to walk even a short distance on areas with numerous acorns I wouldn't walk around or jump over.
I have an oak tree right over my back door. That's the door that gets used the most. This time of year the acorns are constantly dropping all around there. I end up stepping on them some, but as some have said, you just kinda winch & move on. The ones that really hurt though, are the ones that chipmunks have chewed/broken open leaving sharp pointed pieces of shell all over!
...Allright? What in the actual fuck are those eye poppers, and where in the world do you have them? Also, no acorns where I live. How does stepping on to them compare to... say, stepping on Legos?
Stepping on Legos hurts less than stepping on mini-acorns. Lego is more of a duller ouch, but does leave a small very temporary mark of the snap-in circles if it stuck in the sole. Mini-acorns go into the soles deeper, and especially hurt if it went in point side up and stuck in the sole.
Highly heated and melting Lego pieces. I don't think they exist, unless someone is heating them up that much for sole heat training. In that case, an aluminum pan would be better, but be ready to hop off that thing as soon as the burning becomes closer to touching a hot iron.
