Feet and Glasses

   The glasses I'd gotten especially for kendo ended up breaking a few days ago; I went to the store to get them repaired, only to be told that it was irreparable. I asked if they could replace the frame, but they didn't have that frame in stock and it would take a few weeks to get it. Great.

   Oh, but how about another frame with the same fit! Nope, none of those in stock.

   So I just ended up getting another pair of glasses... sigh.

   My feet don't seem like they're ever going to heal; the original super-painful part healed up fine, but the skin keeps tearing away at the edges... so it heals from the inner part of the wound to the outer part and the outer part just keeps getting bigger. My right foot is starting to get torn up a bit as well.

   It's nowhere near as painful as it used to be; now it just feels like I'm stepping on pieces of glass. After a while, I don't really notice it. Hopefully it'll all heal up and the skin will stop getting rubbed off.

Hi,

I'm a kendo beginner who'll be moving to bogu soon; like you, I'm looking to get a pair of special glasses for kendo. Which brand would you recommend?

Thanks!

Have fun learning kendo in Japan!

I don't think there's any particular brand. My sensei recommended that I get glasses that had longer hooks that go around and behind the ears so that they're not dislodged as easily.
