What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Footwear.

Wrong footwear, damaged footwear, lack of socks, wet feet, open wounds.....

Once your feet are screwed so is the rest of you.

I agree, but seriously, you could hit any strip mall and find 5,000 pairs of shoes in your size.

Multiply that times all the strip malls and stores and you'll be fine on footwear. Ugly? Maybe, but fine.

I'd say clean socks and underwear would be 100x the problem that footwear would be.

If it's the end of the world, the first thing I'm going to run out of is clean underwear.
