The Basics

Alyssa handed Mike a pair of shoes.

“This is an all-purpose shoe,” She explained, “You can wear it most of the time, but not to anything too fancy nor anything too rustic.”

She handed him another pair.

“This one you probably don’t want to wear out much. The heel tends to be the perfect size to get stuck in things like grates or vents.”

She handed him a third pair.

“Now this one you NEVER should wear outside. It’s inside only for special occasions. You’d need to bring a second pair to wear to and from any sort of event.”

“What good is a pair of shoes if I can’t wear it outside?” Mike groaned.

Alyssa rolled her eyes, “You aren’t going to be able to survive very long in my body if you can’t deal with the basic things of being a woman. You need to learn this stuff! No one is expecting a second Great Shift to swap us all back into our own bodies any time soon!”
