        Do they walk everywhere or do they have a different set of driving boots?

          They run by leaning forward, bouncing in high and long strides.

          If you’re genuinely asking, most aren’t quite so bad as this although there are some pretty crazy ones I’ve seen around Houston. If someone wants to wear something like this usually they’ll put them on when they get where they’re going.

    The man appears to have pointed feet. I repeat: he has pointed feet, so be careful now!

    I suspect this originated with the premise of having so much money that you can afford to waste it on extra shoe materials that serve no purpose other than identifying you as an asshole.
