Shoes Are Not Heralds

Your shoes, if at all possible, should not announce your arrival ahead of time.
Besides, if your shoes are making that much noise, there’s probably something wrong.
For instance, if your shoes are going “click, click, click” or “clop, clop, clop,” it’s probably because they have hard heels, and you’re walking on a hard floor. This can’t be good for your feet, or knees, or back even.
On the other hand, if your shoes are going, “scuff, scuff, scuff” or “slap, slap, slap,” it’s probably because you’re wearing flip-flops in public. And that makes you look lazy, which, for some reason, is annoying to other people.
So, be kind to yourself, and your fellow pedestrians.
That concludes this session of, “Fashion Tips from a Philosopher.”
You know, I don’t mind other peoples’ loud shoes. But I hate it when my own shoes are loud. :)
On the other hand, I have always been told that it is imperative that one’s heels must go “click, click” on a proper dance floor.
