Lemming: oxfords and a leather satchel

I was evaluating the state of my shoes today and I realized that I don’t have any practical office footwear. These days I’ve been wearing either booties or boots. Normally I wouldn’t mind so much since I sit in front of the computer all day but I’ve missed walking.

Walking is a habit I’ve gotten into after I left the academe. As a teacher, you’re pretty much required to stand most of the time. Stand and walk around. But since I’m teetered to a desk these days, the only time I get to walk is when I get off work.
