Shuesday: Worship at your own (financial) risk

calced (kalst) adjective. Wearing shoes. From Latin calceus (shoe). Which has to be better than not wearing shoes, yes?

These are Roman goddess shoes - at least they have an unworldy price tag.

(The four-inch heel undoubtedly references the original interpretation of goddess as one who stayed still while worshipers came to see her, and not the modern, girl-power fueled goddess, bestriding her world like a fashion colossus.)
