 <title>Why we buy shoes</title>
 <link>http://blog.victoriac.net/blog/17</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I have recently bought a new pair of shoes that gave me pain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the blisters have hardened and become thick ugly calluses, I no longer feel pain wearing those shoes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, should I leave the calluses be, let my feet keep their natural defence (though looking ugly) to spare myself further pain?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or should I buff away the calluses, beautify my feet again, make them soft as ladies&#039; feet are expected to be, and open them up to new pain?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or maybe I should just forget about pretty shoes, and get myself a pair of Scholls?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or maybe somewhere out there, there exist pretty shoes that cause no pain.&lt;/p&gt;
