Hi.

[ and then a pause, where it seems as if that's all that's going to be sent while he has a moment of uncertainty of whether or not he's doing this right. but thankfully, he carries on. ]

I'm Zagreus, one of the newly arrived, nice to meet you all.
I just have a question, does anyone have access to any fire resistant footwear?
Sandals or er, sneakers? Is that what they're called? Anything is fine.
Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent surfaces from burning when I stand on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks very much for your time.

i'm not sure about flame resistent.
but the sand usually gets pretty hot so you absolutely want socks.
i know a guy who wanders around the desert with NO SOCKS and then complains about it the whole way.
don't be that guy.

[ listen... when you have slutty ankles, sometimes you gotta show them off. ]

I'm assuming the socks are what keeps the sand out of the shoes?

[photosympathies]

well no.
ur gonna get sand in ur shoes.
it doesn't matter if they're all the way up to your knees. sand finds a way!
but good thick socks helps keep the sand from rubbing your skin raw which is what you really want to avoid.

I see. So socks are a requirement for closed-toe footwear.

Pardon my ignorance; I've mainly gone barefoot my entire life and I haven't been to the beach before coming here, so I suppose you could say that I'm new to these customs.

that's okay, shoes are sometimes hard to come by.

( Just ... assuming ... )
