I don't particularly like any shoes - they are, for me, a necessity, but not a pleasure. I dread shoe shopping. I realize this makes me abnormal, for a girl, but that's the way it is! The fact that I have strange-shaped feet and need orthotics to fit into the shoes doesn't help, but I do not recall a time ever in my life that I enjoyed shoe-shopping, even as a child.




It is no coincidence that my mother used to ask for volunteers to take my sister and I shoe-shopping, and would even offer to pay someone to spare her the agony!
