Shoe stores sell [or sold] a spray that smelled suspiciously like
rubbing alcohol for the purpose of stretching too-tight shoes.
I am very fond of my faux-crocs ... huge, colorful, comfortable, and
cheap. Every so often the paper will print a story about how we
shouldn't wear them because they are so unfa****onable, which matters
not a whit, nor jot nor a tittle. I have 3 pairs. My feet are beyond
fa****on.
