Last weekend I attended Capitol Hill Block Party, an annual three-day festival that essentially shuts down one of Seattle’s hippest neighborhoods with wall-to-wall live music. It was a lot of fun, and I saw some great bands. But by the third afternoon, I never wanted to stand again. I made a mistake wearing the shoes I did – these thin-soled canvas things I bought for less than $20 at H&M – and after walking and standing all day on baking asphalt, they started to feel like ever-tightening vices on my feet.
