An end in sight for the aggravating shoe-check in airports? I won’t hold my breath yet, but I’m still excited!

A woman after my own heart writes this compelling editorial: Free your feet, free your soul. Worth the read. In the same vein: New research reveals British women’s painful addiction to shoes.
