Special Needs

I wore a pair of my favorite shoes today and walking past me in the hall a colleague said, "Those look comfortable. Are they special needs shoes?"
Now I know that the Sartorialist is not longing to capture my look for the fashion world to emulate.  I realize that I have a personal style that could most charitably be characterized  as neat and tidy. But special needs shoes? 

FML.

Special need to stomp out inane questions, perhaps.

A politically correct comment about your footwear?? Too funny. Fifteen years ago that colleague may have just asked if you had gout or something. But no more. We have made many "strides" in the tolerance of special needs shoes. lol
