I've seen guys attend primitive events in thoroughly modern wheelchairs. So what's the problem? I even know folks who show up in (shudder) titanium framed bifocals!
I know, I met a very nice lady in a Hoverround and Oxygen at a Market fair a few years ago..., I don't know what it is, but if you can walk folks expect some sort of proper footwear. It's odd, but folks seem to think if you are mobile enough, you should do something about your feet.
18th century frames won't really take bifocals, but I have seen folks get round, metal rims that would be 19th century style, and have bifocals put into those. These don't seem to "standout" as bad. On the other hand I have seen folks who wear glasses simply wear the modern frames, and are nowhere near to being legally blind without them. Like would it kill a person to get at least metal frames and lenses shaped nearer the 18th century norm? When I see a guy in geeker frames without really thick lenses, it makes me want to say, "
Hey, Buddy Holly, how about proper eyewear?", but I'm not a dog-soldier at events....,
If you have folks going to the trouble to cover their shoes even when they have a serious ailment, (and I know of a fellow who is an amputee who is having a peg-leg made for him...) you'd think folks who simply spray paint the Nike's might do a bit more..., but how does one decide??
