Wear Birks as much as you can to avoid foot issues in later life - that’s what our family podiatric surgeon told me, anyway. After he removed a couple of hammer toes and bunions from my grandmother’s feet, that is.
Since time immemorial, beauty has been a source of human happiness. I'm not advocating, say, foot binding-level of torture to achieve beauty, but pretending beauty is irrelevant to a fulfilling life is sad.

Yes! And I wanted to stomp on their feet with my Doc for ruining my goth day.

Actually intelligence has been a way more important source of happiness. Without it, we'd all be beautiful and dead by 40.
I have a genius IQ, and successful in a profession that depends on that, and yet can't think of a single way in which my IQ has contributed to my happiness. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'd say there's an optimal IQ level, it's substantially below genius, and above that it has negative effects on happiness and fulfillment.
