Famous people talking about walking and shoes
It is amazing how much we take walking for granted. Walking upright is one of the most obvious traits that separates human beings from the rest of the animal kingdom. But, that puts humans on only 2 feet, instad of 4, or even more if we're talking about insects. So, naturally, it should be something that has been talked about over the ages. We think it is important too, which is why we are in the business of providing the World's Most Comfortable Shoes!
