Well, consider this: She sees a really cute pair of shoes, and tries them on once. She probably walks a few steps in them and decides they fit.

How's she supposed to know that they're going to hurt with extended wear? There's really no way to know that from a quick trip up and down the shoe rack unless it's just really badly fitted.

Thats pretty much exactly it.. I have a bunch of shoes I'm constantly giving to goodwill. Ill try on a pair of shoes.. walk around the store in them.. they feel fine at the time. But then when you wear them for an extended period of time they give blisters/hurt/etc. So i dont wear them anymore.

Also.. We buy "cute" shoes because guys dont like girls that look like slobs 🙂

hahahaha, why do people learn proper grammar!?

As for the heels...because it accentuates the legs and calves and adds height...it was quite necessary for my 5'3" ex. 🙂


i love short women. mostly because i'm short myself, but also because 5'11'' women who wear 6'' platforms, look like freeks.



I hit 6ft in heels and I don't look like a freak!

While I am not going to be one to test this myself, I have heard many women comment that thongs are actually very comfortable.
So who knew?
 
More bizarre is the increasing trend of women having pieces of their feet surgically removed so they can fit into these shoes, rather than buying shoes that actually fit their feet.

Well if they wouldnt make shoes that were pointier than... well.. you can imagine.. they wouldnt have to do that. Feet arent pointy!

At least they wear them... my fiancee goes shopping for hours and a few days later goes and returns most of what she bought because she had some time to think things over. :|

Not all shoes for women are pointy, yet so many women insist on purchasing those shoes that are.

My wife is so into comfortable fitting shoes that she wore white tennis shoes to our wedding! She designed it pretty, so it looked fitting for the occasion. No complains about blistered feet from her!
