People always buy two shoes, and they invest as much in the left one as in the right one. It's more than just to match, because if there was an attitude for it, you could have a Nike-swooshed leather skin lined with newspaper for your left foot, the one that went out of favour after it slipped up on the eighth step and sent your stereo tumbling back down and into the shoe shelf at the foot of the stairs.
People pick favourites with a lot of things, but never with things we've been told to posses in two's. A lot of times, unsuitable circumstances of one constitutes replacement of the other as well. You have to buy two new earrings if you lose one. They both have to be in generally equal condition. It's a testament of sorts to partnership.
An exception of course, is socks.
