Presidential candidates should wear sensible shoes

How high is the probability that Hillary Clinton’s next medical misfortune will be a sprained or broken ankle? It’s very high — unless she starts wearing sturdy, sensible, foot friendly, shoes. Right now, as these photographs prove, she’s campaigning in high heels, a notoriously unstable platform. It’s neither stylish nor smart.

She’s a woman of 68, on her feet most of the day on all kinds of surfaces. In what should she encase her feet? Running shoes or lightweight hiking boots. Otherwise, she should carry a set of crutches and a bag of elastic bandages, because eventually she’ll catch a heel in a grating and go fanny over forehead while the cameras are rolling.
