I noticed that whenever I bend to do something that involves physical labor, like cleaning shower, bathroom etc, the punal blocks you from doing that, becomes a sort of hindrance, the only way would be to remove that temporarily, which I do not. There might be an job element to this theory. I read in one of the pocket articles where there was a discussion of 15th-18th century French royalty where long pointed shoes was the norm for nobility to wear preventing them to do any kind of physical work. Is there a linkage? just curious?
Why Were Medieval Europeans So Obsessed With Long, Pointy Shoes?
Going to foolish lengths for fashion.
