Shoe desires

Today, while we were waiting for the Children's Museum to open, we walked over to the Riverwalk. (This is at least the third weekend in a row of glorious weather!) I haven't been to the Riverwalk for years. Given its proximity to the Convention Center, it was hard not to think about all the people who were stranded there immediately after the storm. I half expected to turn a corner and come across an area that they forgot to clean up while erasing the destruction that likely ensued - some due to spiteful looting, but I'm sure the majority of it was the just the result of a lot of people trying to address critical needs with few resources. But all was pristine and orderly. The only visible aftermath of the storm was the handful of vacant storefronts.

We visited the Clarks shoe store, among other places. Why are all the specialty shoe shops in the tourist area? I guess it's because they walk a lot and might decide they need more comfy shoes? I am liking their Privo line. My favorites were these Arches. I think the photos online don't do them justice.
