@ Mudpuddle: My shoe shopping consists of cruising shoe shop windows for a while until I see something I like. Walking inside, checking the price (at which point I usually leave!), asking if they have it in my size, then buying them and leaving. I certainly don't try anything on - most certainly not multiple somethings...
@ Sarah: I used to wear platform shoes (called 'stack heels') in the 70's. I remember vividly one time accidentally stepping inside my 'turn ups' with a heel and nearly killing myself on a long staircase @ High school. Plus there was NO way you can actually run in them! Luckily they were pretty cheaply made so didn't last very long! [lol]
Oh yes, no running for sure! I have seen pictures from the seventies of family/friends in platform shoes and do giggle a bit. So glad you did not perish on those stairs!!
the unforeseen risks endemic to shoe sales...
ReplyDeleteI so would have worn shoes like that in college when we went out to the bars *facepalm*
