and it is not just because they are ugly.

Your feet get really cold on a Vespa.

And apologies to the stylish Romans looking aghast at my feet last week.

If I hadn't been so vain the first day then I might not have got such horrible blisters from my smart new shoes. The only thing I could bear to put on my feet were my Crocs.
