Sneakers

People these days seem obsessed with shoes, which I can't understand because shoes belong on the ground and stay that way for the entire day. They buy $100 shoes for no reason but to show them off. Me, I would never buy shoes for more than $30. Maybe if I really liked them, I would get $50 shoes. But a $100 or more? Never. What's wrong with plain old sneakers? They're comfortable, affordable, and look great anyway. I could never understand why some guys like to buy specific Micheal Jordan shoes.

I also don't understand the appeal of high-heels. Those just kill my feet and often trip me over. Those are "professional" shoes, but I can't see myself wearing those during an interview or anything. Actually, I even wonder what I would wear as professional shoes, since I only love sneakers. I guess I would eventually have to live with loafers or something. My hate for heels and sandals could, again, be seen through a feminist lens. Wearing heels can be a sign of femininity, as those are usually worn with dresses and other girly clothing. If somehow, these sneakers were interpreted by someone from 200 years ago, he or she would probably conclude that I am, indeed just rejecting my female self. However, by rejecting this footwear, I'm not trying to be less feminine. I just think sneakers are much more comfortable. That's all to it. Oh, and they look cool.
