Is there anything more resigned than the words “sensible shoes”? I swore I’d never give up my high heels for such a thing, but that was before I discovered this crazy activity called walking. You’d never believe how efficient it is. Perhaps I should also add that this discovery coincided with the moment I waved goodbye to my Condé Nast-funded car and driver. Farewell, stilettos; I’ll miss you, town car. We sure did have fun!

Then I met Marina Larroudé and her shoe wardrobe. And let me tell you, this changes everything.
