Driving Shoes

Recently, a woman tried to blame her speeding on her high heels.

Well, nice try, hon’, but perhaps you needed a pair of driving shoes. Nina’s driving shoe is basically a light loafer, and part of what she calls “WASP-chic.”

Meh. I’m not so into it. I’m neither a WASP nor a Schumacher. I’m sure that driving shoes are comfortable and colourful and all, but those moccasinny types of shoes aren’t my style and always seem to be very narrow and low-arched, never fitting my feet.

When I go to “slip on” a shoe, it’s often something from Camper, like a low-heeled slip-on mule or an elastic-topped flat.

I think I can safely – on the road and off – leave driving shoes out of my One Hundred.
