Watch how the shoe wears after a week of turnout. You might see uneven marks that show where pressure builds up. If the pad doesn't let the frog work, it can get soft and lead to bruises. I've found that adjusting the nail spots based on that wear pattern helps spread the weight better. It's a simple check that can save a lot of trouble down the road.

That point about getting help early to stop burnout is so true. I totally get what victor_jones99 means about being a terrible boss to yourself, because you never let yourself take a break. Bringing someone in is really the only way to fix that.

See @the_matthew, society always cuts corners for speed, lol.
