Happy feet go SCDing they said. It's a lie! Mine have been SCDing for more 
than 50 years, and they are not happy bunnies. Half an evenings dancing is 
all they can take on a solid floor these days - until I bought a pair of 
Bloch trainers called Stealth trainers. Now I can dance all day on a solid 
suraface and still have happy feet. I don't care what it looks like as long 
as I can dance.

Bill Clement, one of the early RSCDS rebels never wore our dancing
pumps for country dancing, if you ever looked closely, his shoes had
very flat heels. Tried them and found that my dancing mileage was
quite extended.
