The comments about her Chucks were mostly fun, supportive, and kind.

She had just toured Mack’s Apples in Derry, NH. Heels in an apple orchard? Nope!

Kamala Harris: what her sneakers mean
As a woman of colour wearing sneakers on the campaign, it semaphores a change in political dress and much more
theguardian.com
Kamala Harris’s nomination as Joe Biden’s running mate is historic: the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, she is the first woman of colour to be on a major party’s presidential ticket. She is also the first to prominently wear sneakers on the campaign trail.
Harris’s preference for non-traditional footwear was first seen last year when she was a Democratic presidential hopeful, and appeared in Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars. As she told The Cut: “I run through airports in my Converse sneakers. I have a whole collection of Chuck Taylors: a black leather pair, a white pair, I have the kind that don’t lace, the kind that do lace, the kind I wear in the hot weather, the kind I wear in the cold weather, and the platform kind for when I’m wearing a pantsuit.”
Women’s fashion choices are seldom a fair topic. While others may seek the deeper meanings behind sneakers, my Chucks wearing daughter said it simply: “Heels all day? We don’t have to do that anymore!”
What we do have to do is VOTE!
