Until we as a gender refuse to wear any shoe that would be uncomfortable to walk a mile in, we're perfectly screwed."

And true.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was flipping through this cool book An Uncommon History of Common Things, and a section on shoes caught my attention. Here's the opening line for the section on high heeled shoes:</p> <p>"A shoe is meant to protect the foot and allow a human to walk more comfortably: if it doesn't do either of those things, it's probably a high-heeled shoe."</p> <p>Truth! </p>
