Footwear foolishness (part 1)

Considering the fragile construction of feet (26 bones, 19 muscles and 107 ligaments each foot) and the mileage expected of them (65,000 in an average lifetime), people have not been treating our feet very well. Most of us choose and wear shoes with designs that people are mad about and are popular.

But of course, people nowadays are not so foolish as to wear chopines (a platform shoe with a wooden sole that reached a height of 20 inches) that were popular in the 15th century. More and more people now look for shoes that are comfortable and can make them look good.

What kind of shoe do you prefer?
