In my shoes/ Walking sleep/ In my youth I pray to keep
I haven't subscribed to any magazines in several years, and I still feel like I've read more "fix your problem area" or "how to flatter your flawed figure" articles than I ever need to read.
But you know what I would like to read more about? Why the heck do my shoes always wear out at the back of the heel before they wear out anywhere else? Is it because I'm wearing shoes that are too big, or too small, or shoes that don't flatter my foot-shape? Are my feet too wide or too narrow, or too wide in the front and narrow in the back, or what? What should I be doing to compensate? I'm well aware how my body-shape compares to that of other women, but I don't really know anything about other people's foot-shape. All kinds of factors can affect the way shoes fit you, and I wish that I could just look at shoes and say, "I'm not even going to try those on, because I know that the toe box is not high enough for my extra-tall toes" or something like that.
I can't believe I'm encouraging fashion magazines to give us something else to feel inferior about, but it would help me if I could label what fits and doesn't and why.

"Black Hole Sun" done by lots o' folks I remember Frampton but I think the song goes back further than that. I'm old so my memory is fading . . .
It might be because of your stride, it might be the way you balance in your shoes. There seem to be a lot of reasons. The outside sole of my shoes always wears out first because I kind of turn my feet as I walk.
