1. I have to admit to ignorance here.

I have no idea what Chucks are.

Although overall, I have not bought any wearing apparel of any kind since mid-March.

17. No. She'll wear the same shoes...

...that she's going to wear when she dons her Prosecutor hat and locks up Don the Con.

7. I'm not worrying

Wouldn't wear them anyhow, even the new ones: very uncomfortable.

Dr. Leslie Campbell, a podiatrist and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association, considers Chucks nothing more than a "glorified sock without adequate support or stability and minimal to no shock absorption. For those who have no particular foot complaints (pain), they are designed for the consumer moved by fashion and trends, not the individual seeking foot health."

For the most part, Chuck Taylors are "inherently very flat shoes and offer minimal arch support or cushioning," Dr. Megan Leahy, a Chicago-based podiatrist with the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, told HuffPost, adding that they can lead to arch pain, heel pain and even tendinitis.
