Three thoughts in quick succession
- They should make hats for feet
- Wait, that's shoes
- I should go to bed

Dabo asks:
this is less an ask and more an objection, but if that's alright, I object to shoes being foot hats. I feel like shoes are more feet jackets? I feel like they're more about protection and the fact that they are on the bottom of the feet, while feet do have tops. I think the only shoes that should count as hats are the boots with like, a big really puffy ball on top of the tip of each shoe. Besides that, I think we should indeed invent foot hats, and that they could probably go on top of shoes? Maybe shoes could be built with a gap at the bottom so the hat could be strapped on without having to step on the strap.
I stand corrected on point 2—Dabo is right when they say shoes are more like feet jackets and with their suggestion on how to make the true foot hat. I almost want to say spats might count but that's more a thing for the shoe than the foot.
I remain correct on point 1 and especially for 3.
but now...
re: foot hats
Liz asks:
I just saw Dabo's elaboration on the subject of foot hats and I feel the need to point out the existence of shoe roses, a popular decoration for shoes in Early Modern Europe and the Regency. I feel like these suit Dabo's definition of a hat.
Liz, thank you for this important information
