Occassionally when I'm out, in the grocery store, in the airport, on the street... anywhere, I'll see teenage girls wearing what appear to be pajama bottoms and big fuzzy slippers... I don't quite get it... I'm all for comfort... but... Oh I'm old...
If I could not wear shoes for the rest of my life I'd be a happy camper... Shoes make me cranky... I like nice clean white soft socks... Socks make me happy... Shoes are evil... but alas - streets are nasty dirty so I have to wear shoes outside... Sneakers are good... hushpuppies are good... (and my mocassins smell like vanilla) Heels, unless I'm trying to impress a customer... are evil...
When I worked on Wall Street - heels, even though I'd be climbing in and around server racks and under desks and floors, were part of the uniform - but only when in the office.. .You'd have to be partially insane to wear dress shoes on a city street for any length of time... you feel every pebble on the street thru thin leather soles.. and platform shoes are way too clydesdaleponyesque...
that woman on the street in her sneakers might actually have her real shoes in her bag...
