FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for August 11, 2012

Women and their shoes.

This woman has worn practically one pair of shoes all summer.

I have 3 pair I’ve rotated through. The key to any good pair of shoe is versatility.

When did paige change her name to Imelda

she has a pair for the morning, afternoon, and evening. every day!

Imelda Marcos is a former beauty queen who is required by contract with her shoe manufacturer sponsors to wear their products. They send her new shoes every day, for life. Paige, on the other hand, has no such sponsors. Apparently Roger Fox is extremely wealthy.

Have you ever wondered haw much luggage a nudist would need?

This woman wears sensible black shoes for work, sneakers for home, and occasionally, some cheap sandals I bought for $5 years ago in Florida and they have lasted forever. Oh, and fluffy slippers in the morning. That’s it.

Give it up, Paige, you don’t need THAT many sandals for a week-long vacation.

at least 10 pair visible from where i sit, though not all are worn regularly. my computer is in view of my front closet, where my old shoes go to die.

I take 2 or MAYBe 3 pair with me on vacay, something dressy, sneakers on my feet to get there/walking around, and a pair of flip flops in the summer for the pool.

I got a pair of FILA athletic shoes in June, they should still be solid when school starts up again. In fact, my father bought me the FILAs when he pointed out the stench of my worn-in shoes that I wore to visit him in California.

Dress shoes, tennis shoes, work shoes-boots, camo hunting boots, sandals.
