Shoes I'll Never Wear

I definitely prefer comfort over style although whenever I can  have both, I am happy. Therefore, I will never wear very tight clothes or for that matter, high heels, stilettos or wedges.  Even so, I cannot ignore the incredible strides  shoe design has made during the last years.  There are shoes that look like river stones, like delicate dragonflies, or like a slice of Brancusi’s infinite column. I know I will never be able to walk with such shoes, and I prefer to watch them with the same respect  and distance  I watch works of art .... And I look with envious admiration at women who can wear them gracefully.
