SHOES.

Note: I am not generally a shoes person. My favorite shoes are my orthopedic loafers, because they provide arch and heel support. And because I’m eighty.

However, sometimes when you pass a secondhand store and stop to buy a friend a 75-cent copy of that classic Harlequin Regency The Highwayman (“Everything about him screamed danger!”), you end up going so far back into the cramped, narrow store that you come out in Narnia – being sensible, you quickly backtrack, and find the shoes.

And among the clunky, worn black shoes is a brand-new, acid green pair of Fluevogs with elf-toes that stick out THREE INCHES past the toes of your foot.

Clearly, you buy them. You spend the rest of the evening staring at them in half-wonderment, half fear, clutching your copy of The Highwayman like a book of psalms.

(I’m still looking for a picture, but if anyone on the internet actually owns a pair of these shoes they’re too afraid to cop to it.)

ETA: I just tried them on. These shoes are MAGIC. I love them so much. How can these crazy shoes inspire the kind of love that 4″ tango stilettos could not?
