Shoes are the most difficult article of clothing to purchase. The problem is that the ones that are beautiful are very often meant to be worn only by the manikins modeling them, mainly because their weight is supported by a metal rod rather than their feet. If you’re planning to actually walk in shoes like that you can count on major foot surgery in your future. It’s something about the design, especially in women’s shoes, that seems to be a product of poor planning. When the toe of the shoe has a sharper point than the ice pick in the Psycho movie it is time to rethink our priorities. Whose idea was it to make women’s high heels with room for only one toe in the front, and not even your big toe? You have to be one of those people born with an inordinately long middle toe to benefit from the average high heeled shoe. I think shoes should be sold on a trial basis only. You could make a deposit on them and take a walk around the mall. If you come back free of tears and sporting only minimal bleeding then they’re a keeper. My favorites are the athletic shoes with that special gizmo in the heel to propel you into space when you stand up too quickly. They cost as much as a second mortgage, which works because they are the size of a small condo, which could come in handy after you’ve dragged them around on your feet all day. If you push two of them together they can sleep six quite comfortably.
