At first I thought this was going to be a story about hygiene - like, no outside shoes inside the house circa A Woman's Right to Shoes in season six of SATC - but I really enjoyed this shoe appreciation story… I’ve always made it a point to look down at someone to really gauge who they are
This was a brilliant read, thank you. I think shoes definitely say a lot about a person, if only about who they are that day. I used to have a really cute shoe collection, I loved anything with a pattern and think one of my favourite pairs were blue with little red houses on them - we got a puppy and she ate every last shoe and I was so sad/annoyed that I just didn't ever replace them. Then I had kids and needed something comfortable and now I mostly wear Adidas trainers, which I do love, but they definitely scream "just needs to be cosy and comfortable" rather than "hey look how much fun I'm having with my style!"
One day I'll step out in beautiful shoes again. One day 😅
love the idea that it’s who they are that day! i’m excited for the day you replace those blue/red houses shoes but until then: sneakers can be so fun!! being comfortable lets me be more fun personality-wise so it’s a fair trade off
Definitely a fair trade off. Also just read in your bio how old you are, and hadn't realised you were so young. Your writing is so mature, you definitely have a real talent here. Excited to keep reading whatever you write next
I subscribe to the, “Do these shoes make my feet look big?” thinking when selecting 😏
honored to have my character introduced on the shoe episode. and that my boots could have played a part in bringing us together <3 love this one lady

Anytime, shoes are a topical (and trendy) issue
