There's a shoe lying at the side of the road outside my house.

One shoe. It's a sort of beigey-brown trainer, the sort that's ready-laced-up with elastic-y laces to put an end to tying and make it set for just pulling on.

Rather than immediately noticing the strangeness of a single, solitary shoe lying in the road, I was instantly horrified that somebody would even wear such a thing.

I have become a shoe snob.
