Purple shoes and happiness at last

Wearing these purple shoes makes me feel happy. One reason they make me smile is that they remind me of "Sandy" McCall Smith's Mma Grace Makutsi, whose blue shoes brought her happiness.

Grace Makutsi's relationships with her other shoes are interesting too. Her boots call her Boss, standing in both as conscience and reality check.

My shoes must satisfy only three conditions. They have to fit without pinching or flopping. They must not drag socks down (as I've learned, to my cost, that some shoes can). Finally, they have to prove they won't hurt, even after a walk along the beach promenade.

The purple suede shoes I tracked down on the internet (after falling in love with the wrong size in a store a couple of months ago) just passed their final test.
