So the moral of the story is that comfort and style can go hand-in-hand, or rather, foot-in-foot. Would I retrace my footsteps to walk them all again in more fashionable shoes? Absolutely not. I’m not convinced that fashion has always walked in step with function. My years of trainer-training were not for nothing: they taught me to keep my feet planted comfortably on the ground. I refuse to shove my shoes into an uncomfortable shape just because someone says they’re stylish.
Besides, there’s a certain comfort in knowing that I can quickly “run in” for a bottle of wine on the way to a party, and quickly escape bad guys on the way home. There is indeed a certain comfort … to comfort.
