New York Shoe Theory:
New Yorkers are all about their kicks. You can tell if someone is from New York or a tourist just by looking at their shoes. After spending lots of time on the subway in the 3 days I was there, I came to the conclusion as to why there is a shoe culture in NY. When walking on the subway, you at first look straight ahead, then when realizing how awkward that is, you look down. Down is more common and comfortable than up. My idea is that through looking down at other people's shoes on the subway, New York created a culture of fly shoes. Maybe it's not a perfect theory but it's a good enough one that if I move to New York, I'll need to go shopping.
