Shoes are bad

Instead of worshiping me with his body, Mr E has sent me an article about shoes damaging my feet. And your feet.

Look, it’s not your fault. It’s your shoes. Shoes are bad. I don’t just mean stiletto heels, or cowboy boots, or tottering espadrilles, or any of the other fairly obvious foot-torture devices into which we wincingly jam our feet. I mean all shoes. Shoes hurt your feet. They change how you walk. In fact, your feet—your poor, tender, abused, ignored, maligned, misunderstood feet—are getting trounced in a war that’s been raging for roughly a thousand years: the battle of shoes versus feet.

I know shoes are bad for my feet. That's why I'm usually in such pain and have feet which regularly need to go to see the beautician. That's not why I wear pretty shoes.

I wear them because they look hot and they make me look and feel great. Great shoes = great day and, more commonly, great night.
