I have not a clue of what I could prove, if I weren't wearing

SHOES

Who would take me seriously, if all they saw were what

ARE

my bare, pale feet? They would stare, and laugh, and ask

WHAT

in the world I was thinking. Society would tell me to

HIDE

and never return, unless I covered up. Because

OUR

outfits would never be complete, and shoes are what destiny made for our

FEET.

Pay attention to the capitalized words.

This was just for fun for a different outlook on why we wear shoes.
