Recently, Debbie determined the importance of feet. Wrong shoes can make your life difficult. She now submits to pedicures. Her feet are often featured in photographs. Wrong shoes can make your life difficult. Debbie wants to have happy feet.

In theory, there are shoes that that make one’s back more comfortable, and Debbie wanted that so she went on a shoe quest. The first pair was purchased and soon arrived. The pair had white rubber one inch wide surrounding the shoe. On that white rubber in large capital letters was the word “ORTHOPEDIC”. Debbie was a walking billboard from 30 feet away. Debbie decided that as much as she wanted her feet to be happy that this could not happen and returned the shoes.

The next pair in the quest were made by Kuru. The company is a bit more sedate with the advertising but they do send an email every day asking Debbie if she needs another pair of Kuru shoes. Debbie now has a brilliant purple pair of shoes which are visible 30 feet away. However Debbie has decided to stick with her Merrell shoes but use the Kuru shoes in the house. They are a bit loud .


Debbie is taking her Merrell shoes to Hawaii. She will be sedate yet with happy feet.

Unfortunately, when Debbie was on the way to the airport she looked down to find the purple shoes were on her feet. She almost screamed out loud how did this happen?


Debbie sat in the airport wearing a five-year-old girl’s dream outfit of a pink shirt with purple shoes. It’s going to be a long flight.

  1. I like the purple shoes. They are fetching, in many senses of the word. For example, that pretty color will make it easier to find & fetch you from the lava flows. Also, the volcanic ash will probably reduce the vibrant purple to a dusty rose, so all will be good at the end of your latest adventure.

  2. I realize this is very late but can’t help myself. I love the purple shoes, but you knew I would. And, there is a poem hanging in my bathroom that explicitly confirms “When I Get Old I Shall Wear Purple”. Plus you will be easy to keep track of.
