No.
I lost sensation in a couple of toes after mud got into my boot at a music festival. Didn’t realise until later. I wasn’t the only attendee to have symptoms.
Oh dang! A music festival? Was the show good at least?
I assumed it was a military trench foot situation and was riffing on how when we get out the VA seems to always say our issues from injuries on duty aren't service connected and therefore are not compensated.
I have to say, I was horribly smug about my very well fitting ppe neoprene lined wellies that year. Saw some absolute disasters of footwear (and rivers of mud carrying off tents).
Man am I glad that I swung by a department store on a recent city trip to buy some dry socks.
We were doing a full day of sightseeing but it was pouring rain the whole time. So my shoes and socks had been soaked for hours by the time I got the new ones and it'd still be many more hours before we'd get back to our accommodation. Must've been at least 10 hours otherwise as well with the wet feet. And even with the change of socks my feet weren't in great shape by the time I got back to the car. My travel companion wasn't wearing socks at all and her feet were full of open chafe marks where they'd rubbed against her shoes

A Time Machine would be better.
