Yeah a lot of twisted and sprained ankles during that night.

Well when I worked for Mor(g)an Stanley I was breaking them in slowly. Started with construction boots (shined, brown leather), khakis and shirt and tie... than I graduated to construction boots, shirts not tie and khakis.... than I went for construction boots, polos shirts and khakis... than I went for heavy backpacking boots such as Scarpa, khakis and polo shirts... and finally my biggest conversion: Cargos, polo shirt and backpacking boots. I was a rebel. If somebody asked I always told them I had a bad feet so I needed special custom shoes with specialized inserts and I will sue for discrimination and pointing out my disability. Mind you I had a picture of me in the same boots on top of Mt Kenya hanging up over my desk. They left me alone for 4 years. They didn't even say a word when I started wearing international orange polo shirts <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

But indeed footwear is essential. Baby your feet and you can walk 300 miles and next day you can walk 300 more.
