“It’s a strange city. Why would anyone hang shoes up there?”
“Get used to being in a city of high achievers. The shoes are left behind by people who fly away to meet their lofty goals.”
“And they want their shoes to be available on dropping down from gorgeous heights?’
“No. We keep those as a reminder that they belong here. They are welcome back to roots as and when they choose to return. An astronaut’s shoe hangs there amongst many.”
“Yes. I can see the footwear brand being highlighted. I’m sure astronauts charge astronomical amounts for the brand endorsement?”

I like that idea for the hanging shoes. Having a forever place to call home is a lovely thought. Using it as advertising? Not so lovely.

Those could have been artificial wings or wheels. Just depends on what are you selling.

High achievers indeed. They’d better hope they don’t need their shoes back on re-entry though!
