Go, Susan.  Hooray!      Pointy toes and high heels were created by
sadists, and their continuance demonstrates how many women need some
serious psychotherapy!   Underwires, too, but now we're getting away from
feet.

Personally,  I wear moccasins or bare feet at home, and nearly moccasins
which are respectable looking, with no heels,  for work calls.  Yes, yes,
hard toes for dangerous cutting work.
