Bear foot

I was checking bear's shoes this morning as it is ages since he had them fitted and I keep waiting for there to be problems.  I asked him whether the shoes felt tight.
'Oh yes,' he said.
'Why didn't you say something?' I asked, a little concerned.  I am used to bear being quite forward at coming forward.
'You never asked.'

As there is still a bit of give in them and he still races around at high speed, I don't think they are very bad.  However new shoes time, I think.
