It would be silly :-) Then no one would ever lend out=20
equipment, because the fitting would be 'reset'.
Example:
Bubba lend out his well worn boots to Ackbar, just for=20
an hour, then the boots fit Ackbar badly (fair enough),=20
but when Bubba gets them back, they will fit him equally
poorly (owner will be "Bubba", but fit will be -30, not
30).
You need atleast a list of how well some boots fit
all the individuals that have ever worn them. Whenever
one individual wears the boots for (as you say) one day,
all others fit is counted down, while his/her is counted up.
