The first question
To start off the thread, here is a question from me. I think it's a clear example of the type of question you wouldn't want asked on, say the compatibility thread.
My question is thus: What's with the shoe theme on the website? Is it an inside joke I don't get, or is it simply a designer's choice? I think it's interesting, from a designer's standpoint, so even if it is just a designer's choice, please respond on how it began.
