Shoes used to be my big thing too. I never wore the spiky ones either, because comfort was always important....Beauty with comfort.
When I dressed up, I DRESSed up.. never wore slacks on a date. Of course, I was dating in the late 50s to mid 60s, when wearing a dress was in..LOL.
Dressing up now is a new pair of pull on slacks, tee, blouse and a pair of slip on shoesys.
