Bare Feet -- Srs Bsnss
Over on Customers Suck, a poster complains about a shoeless customer coming into the restaurant where they work. In the comments ladygzb doesn't understand what the problem is.

After all, not that long ago, people of no means went barefoot as a matter of course, so why shouldn't she have the right to enter a public place with no shoes. Social conventions are meaningless. Going barefoot flaunts convention the way gay and interracial marriage does!

If your feet have a fungus it's the fault of your shoes! I went barefoot all through college and never caught anything like a fungal infection! In short, shoes are just disgusting and they make my feet hurt anyway.

And people keep on arguing with her.

Since everyone else is doing Thoughts on Feets vs Shoes, here are mine:

US Womens 9 1/2 WW in most brands/styles; professional measuring people keep trying to put me into a full size smaller but my feet are basically rectangular, and I get sores on my smallest three toes if I wear that size. Spread metatarsl arch, bad ankles, bad knees, one bad hip: need shock absorbing construction and anything flatter than a 1 1/2" heel gives me shin splints. Oh, and I'm diabetic. And really clumsy, so unit-bottom soles and anything with rounded edges or a flanged heel will cause me to fall down steps or catch the edge of a curb and smack into the side of the car when I try to open the door.

I basically shop any time I get within visual range of a shoe display. My favorite shoes are a pair of 8 eyelet logger's boots, men's size 8 WW. I have a passionate hate on for shoe clerks who think I just haven't found the proper dead-flat unit soled flanged-heeled sports shoe. I love Nordie's Rack, although it tends to be like searching for agates on the beach: more a matter of luck than skill or intent.

If I were seriously rich, I'd have everything hand-made.
