Stubborn on the Issue of Wearing Mules
Re “Walk a Mile in Whose Shoes?” (Feb. 21): As a prerequisite to writing an article on women’s shoes, Al Martinez should have been forced to wear a pair of mules for a day.

It is an insult that women who show concern with an article of clothing that impairs their ability to function comfortably are branded as “feminist guerrillas.”
