Fancy footwear

As King and I strolled through the public garden last night we curiously noticed that George Washington's horse was wearing gold shoes. Upon closer inspection, we also noticed that George himself was sporting some purple leggings. Kind of odd, we figured it was just some prank. Then we came upon the ducks and they also had on colorful shoes that appeared to be made out of plaster. Hmmm, must be more than a prank. Luckily the Globe decided to answer my questions this morning with this article about all the fancy footwear going up on statues all over the city to promote walking around the city. Works for me!
