Exshoes Me?

By "Milbarge" and "Fitz-Hume"

I'm not a shoe guy. I don't buy shoes very often, and I always go for comfort over fashion. But I did find interesting these two shoe-related items.

1. A very neat article from New York magazine about how bad shoes are for our feet. Worth it just for the illustrations.

2. Bad for our feet in another way, apparently, are Crocs. At least that's what the lawsuits say, according to this post from Above the Law. The suits allege they get caught in escalators, causing injuries to kids. I'm not sure I get this one. Exactly how are these injuries caused? If it's due to the kids' not picking up their feet, or wearing shoes that are too big, that doesn't seem to me to be a Crocs-specific issue.
