Musing on sneaks/sneakers tennies/tennis shoes et.al. it brought to mind an anomoly that I have mused on now and then : in those TV cop shows the cops' footsteps are always heard - the women's high heels and the men, obvious from the sound - leather heels and soles. Why?
O, someone tell me why the men are not wearing rubber-soled shoes and why the women cops aren't wearing sensible-for-running shoes - also with rubber or crepe soles?
Is it too sensible? Not daramatic enough?
And the strange part is that the real police officers I have met all wear boots/shoes that have leather soles but heavy rubber heels!
