[TheForge] Arthritis

[Jerry Frost]

Are you taking glucosamine and chondroitin? It makes a 
world of difference for me.

What kind of shoes/boots do you wear in the shop? I 
have a couple pair of custom made (they're all custom 
measured and made. Or were the last time I got a pair) 
White's boots that keep my entire lower half from 
hurting. http://www.whitesoutdoor.com/boots-about.php

Deb swears by her Z-Coils. < http://www.zcoil.com/ >

Z-Coil recently developed a durable cover for the coils 
so they're no longer a trip hazard. They are also 
available with steel toes. I just bought a pair of Z 
Duty boots, covered springs but no steel toes for mine. 
They take virtually all the shock out of walking and 
are especially nice on concrete. They take a little 
getting used to.

They're lighter than the White's and less expensive. On 
the other hand if you're doing a lot of heavy duty 
outdoor work in the roughs, you can't beat the White's. 
I have the Logger Smoke Jumpers.
