Having recently been forced to wait around in an airport for several hours, I spent some time observing the writhing mass of humanity surging to and fro through the corridors.
One observation: There is a group of people who PERSIST on wearing shoes that are completely, utterly, and totally inappropriate for tramping through airport hallways. These people are usually women, but seem to range in age from 16 to 96. They have on high, high heels with tiny little spiked bottoms. These shoes are not known for being kind to the foot and so the silly women are teetering along with mincing, bobbing steps, looking mean and disgruntled--obviously in pain.
Ha! I love their pain! Mince on, ladies! You amuse me with your stupidity.
I'll wear tennis shoes (or sneakers, if you're so inclined to label them) with a dress before I'd wear high-heeled shoes to ANY situation where I have to walk a long way. PLUS, what if you need to hop down the emergency slide from the plane, or run from the airport during an evacuation? I don't think that the Jimmy Choo crowd is going to make it. Shoe Darwinism?

I'm with you, Infomatrix! These are the same women we invariably see wearing ridiculous high heels all day at Disneyland. Really ladies...why?
It's just inappropriate and downright stupid.
It IS Shoe Darwinism, and we tennis shoe girls will definitely at the top of the evolutionary chain.
Being a guy, a short one at that, I am right there with you ladies! It confuses me, women seem to want a tall man and then wear high heels to make themselves taller so the man they are with is less tall, relatively speaking. For me it is either running shoes or work boots. That way, depending on what I am wearing, I am ready to either run for the hills or kick the @#$% out of them!
