Do Shoes Have Soles?

I may open myself up to ridicule by saying this, but I believe they do. Many of which are holy. Let me explain. When someone walks down the street, all you see are the tops and sides of their foot coverings. And yet, without a sole, what's to hold them in place? Wouldn't the shoes move up to your ankles, thereby thwarting the purpose of putting them on? There has to be something there. Why not call it a sole? What is your take on this?

I thank you for your input, rock. Was that a yay or a neigh?

@realjohnboy,
As fate would have it, I was contemplating my Naval experiences today. Got an email from a shipmate who had posted on the ship's web site. But enough about me. Do shoes got soles or carps?

@edgarblythe,
Forget about shoes ! It's the ontological status of socks we should worry about !

I've begun to loose faith in the soles of shoes, as I flip-flop on the issue all the time.

Very well played, people. But what about brake shoes? Are they any less in the ultimate scheme of the world?

I dunno about you, but when my soles have holes in them, I throw them out and get a new pair of shoes. Wink

As someone who does not believe in soles, I also reject supposed miracles like heeling.

perhaps you should have them re-soled so you can be borne again
