Feet Made for Walking

Today I saw a woman walking in what I like to think of as Magritte shoes, though that probably isn't the name given to them by the manufacturer. I mean shoes that look like feet, with toes into which you insert your own toes, soles that are tougher than your own skin, and unhampered by any of the stylistic considerations with which shoes are generally burdened. Rene Magritte adorned his version with shoelaces, which are rather a charming addition. Walking as homo erectus was meant to walk.
