Senisble Shoes

She always wore sensible shoes
     A working woman, self reliant
No need for expensive heels
In fact, her shoes told her entire story
     She was sensible in every way
Do the shoes make the woman or vice versa?
She always wanted to splurge on en expensive pair
     Never could bring herself to do it
Dam, those sensible shoes!

Personally, I always dress for comfort. Clothes and shoes do not make the person. Fun read and smart lady, Mike:)

Waiting in NYC in my improperly parked car, while a family member was treated with radiation therapy, I watched the fashion show. I have observed that the women in comfortable shoes look better in the face, probably because they're not in pain.

I used to love to wear very high platform heeled shoes in the '70's
