Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Eva Elisabeth]

For some reason, that quote reminds me of the silly, expensive, and probably worthless orthopedic shoes (and sometimes even braces!) that toddlers and young kids used to have to wear when I was young. I was lucky enough not to be subjected to those.

I'm willing to bet that 98% of the kids wearing them didn't need them and didn't benefit from them, but it was a health fad of the early-to-mid 1950s.

Going barefoot is what humans' feet are made for. (Also everyone in childhood undergoes a bow-legged and a knock-knees stage.) I loved going barefoot until I stepped into a sea urchin, and since my absolute favorite footwear have been flipflops (and the only I am thrilled to buy).
