The “hurricane shoe” debate went largely along party lines. “First Lady Jill Biden wore high heeled shoes as she joined the president to tour the disaster damage in FL after Hurricane Ian,” tweeted a self-described MAGA. “The shoes themselves aren’t a big deal. The first lady can wear whatever she wants, but when Melania did same in TX after Harvey, the press went [nuts].” Another conservative writer pointed out, “Melania [Trump] changed into sensible running/tennis shoes when she arrived in Texas. She didn’t tour the damage in heels. Jill Biden wore her heels the whole time, even touring the damage. That’s out of touch.”
Supporters of Dr. Biden noted one significant difference between her footwear and Trump’s: the heel height. “You are so right; the comparison is way off,” said a commenter. Fort Myers was completely decimated but by God did u see Jill Biden’s barely-there heel ? My Crocs are higher than her shoes." Other Twitter users noted that Trump once wore an even more controversial outfit. “Dr Biden didn’t wear some “I don’t really care … do you” jacket, right?” wrote one. “Yeah, she would NEVER own one.” Still other tweets proclaimed the true winner of the shoe wars: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose high white boots inspired a hilarious comparison to Nancy Sinatra. Declared a user, “Those go-go boots will go on forever.”
