We are not wearing shoes to protect our feet. We wear shoes that make us look good. Shoemakers , even the best (stuart Weitzman, Nine West, Gucci etc) make them painful. Sometimes in order to llok good we walk a bit in the shoes and when we sit down and think no one will notice, we remove them for a 'breather'.......Come one, at least we look good in those shoes.Just like walking art? (lol)
