In response to another fred on here
Would you prefer shoes that really don't cut it (for comfort) against shoes that cripple you.
Sorry lads, prolly one for the girls but feel free to add your comments

Anything over a five inch heel I find awkward. And I'm liking open toes more these days 
Most of my shoes cripple me but I like the look of them so I wear them .I went shopping one day and several hours later I had to go into a shop and buy a pair of Ballet pumps so I could walk back to the carpark.
Who would not like this shoe.
And you thought Louboutins were expensive? Each pair of The House of Borgezie shoes is handcrafted from solid gold and then encrusted with 2,200 brilliant cut diamonds, totalling 30 carats

I feel the urge to join in, it's just that I'm struggling for something relevant to say.

Seriously EC, would you want your wife to hobble around in those

I'm in the process of clearing my house out and I've got a pair of open toed shoes that I haven't worn much. I'm gonna put them in the charity bag I think

Oh the folly of youth
I do have to be careful though, i have knackered both ankles over the past few years so being drunk on stilts probably isnt the best idea lol

I don't think I would in all honesty - they look more like an exercise is design using expensive materials to me.

Its not always heels that give you sore feet,I wore Ballet pumps and my feet ached.In saying that I had them on the wrong feet.

I used to play football with a guy who wore something similar. I did not like them as I always thought that if in a tackle a toe was kicked, it would break it, being that all the toes look individual.
On the shoe front. I used to shop with a friend who was a massive shoe buyer. Last count she had 40 pairs of shoes with heels, the dress kind you have been posting, about 6 pairs of boots, 4 pairs of trainers and in the region of 20 assorted sandals and ballet style shoes. She sent me an email with photos and lists. Last time we spoke she was putting them all in boxes and sticking a photo on the front of the box.
So I have some experience of women's shoes. I did however enjoy going round the shops with her. It was a build up to having a meal and drink after.
