comfy shoes are best

I hear people talk about "walking a mile" in someone's shoes to feel what they feel. As someone who looooves to try on and walk in other people's shoes, I have this advice: choose the sweaty ones. You can really get to know a person by hopping into their sneakers, fresh from a long walk, and taking them for a spin. You can also learn skills like balance, teetering, and recovering from a fall. Maybe my fascination with shoes is the reason I will always bring yours to you and say "goodbye!" when you're visiting, even if you've just arrived!
