Virginia Postrel’s protestation against sensible shoes is part of why she is, as VodkaPundit said, “the hottest ‘sensible shoes’ libertarian. Ever.” Under the heading “Fashion Grievance,” she writes:
I’m flattered, and I’ve read the explanation, but my shoes are still insulted. If I must wear shoes, let them have three-inch heels.
Perhaps Virginia should have been called the most sensible hot shoes libertarian.
I’m not sure what kind of libertarian I am, but my shoes are indeed sensible.
