Brian says I should be talking about the ‘what and why’ of these wild shoes, but all I want to do is talk about how much I need some! I need ballerina slippers that (so necessarily) separate my little toes from that big nuisance toe on the end. I need boots that make me look, but more importantly, feel like a Superhero. And don’t deny that you too want boots with a non-traditional heel. We all do. We all want that barely there comfort that being barefoot provides. No more leather or laces . . . we long to escape our restrictions and feel free, to feel the green grass between our toes. To know the feel of hot pavement in the summer . . . the free massage you get while walking over cobblestone . . . the ‘Bubble Yum’ left behind . . . and the sandwich rappers dropped and forgotten. Your hands shouldn’t do all the feeling, and your bod shouldn’t get all the good styles. Live a little. Stomp, Stride, Strut . . . Catwalk baby. Make a statement from the knee down.
