nobiz.....I live in Palm Springs, CA........from April til maybe mid-October we can be between 90-120 degrees.....and even I have matching shoes.......
where do you live that you don't have a pair of shoes that match?
Not trying to be rude, but.....BUY A PAIR OF SHOES.
Even people in Hawai'i have shoes!
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
