The shoes of Greenbuild

To follow up on another reader comment, apparent fetishist Matthew suggested that "a fun report might be documenting the types of shoes people are wearing"—so I spent a little time shoe-gazing last night at the Leadership Awards celebration in the Merchandise Mart.

Shiny black shoes were The Thing for both sexes. Some of the women had pointy-toed affairs, a couple of them almost elfin in structure; mostly spike heels, not wide heels or flats. For guys, mostly tapered with a flattened nose; laced, not loafers. Leather, pleather, vinyl, imported, domestic... what do I know about shoes? I figured I'd come off as more than a little creepy if I started asking, and since I do have some measure of decorum (believe it or not), I didn't.

I hope this has helped somehow. It actually was kind of fun. I'm open to additional suggestions.
