You've all made such good points. I find footwear the trickiest part of the fashion puzzle. Sometimes it seems that the tiniest detail--the toe of a boot, the position of a strap--can make an entire outfit fizzle when it creates a proportion that isn't just right. And with comfort topping the list of requirements, things get very difficult. Angie's right: it takes time and patience to find shoes and boots that work. Sometimes, though, by the time I've found something that feels comfortable and looks right, fashion has already moved on!
