“Those are desperately ugly shoes. “Don’t you own a mirror?” ugly. Michelle Obama ugly. Why don’t they go to Payless and spend $19.95 on something cute?”
Forgive my political incorrectness, but I can’t help but think this is what happens when the shoe salesman tells you, “They’re faaabulous!” Or maybe it was a jealous woman. I took my daughter shopping in Las Vegas, and was so far beyond shocked when a “guy” helped her with trying on a dress. I was totally “deer in headlights,” in such shock I thought I was going to die on the spot. I grew up in the Midwest though, so maybe this is normal in .0001% of the U.S.
I just keep trying to replace shoes that wear out with something fundamentally the same. Is there still such a thing as Naturalizer off-white leather pumps with 1-1/2” heels? The pair I bought in 1990 has about had it.
