Watch your step...

I don't want to be rude or inpolite in any way, don't get me wrong... but what the heck is up with Americans and shoes...??? I am not a super posh person, and for sure not a fan of formal clothing (see my first posts about dress code at the League)... But I admit, I like nice shoes... Unfortunately, I haven't seen any here - or at least not on people's feet, or course if I don't count French and Germans who I met on the plane... Surprisingly, even men in expensive black suits and BlackBerries in their hands, when you look down, have just bad shoes...

There actually must be some sociological or psychological reasoning... Maybe they just hate their fathers and their shoes... Or want to sleep with their mothers and ugly shoes would help to get more attention...? Or is is one of those Europe versus U.S. things...? Well, I'm just an amateur, I better consult with Maria...
