This is driving me up the wall. Women's shoes seem to all be uncomfortable. They're just so goddam narrow! If you get wide fit, they no longer fit on the heel. I have normal feet but these shoes are all crushing my toes, causing me pain in my feet and knee. I don't know much about support so that may be coming into it as well.
Well, I just went to a slightly up market shoe shop, and the salesman came over all friendly. I asked him for a shoe that was normal width but roomy at the end. I said normal shoes are crushing my toes. He seemed IRRITATED and was like we only sell ONE shoe because no one ever asks for this. He clearly didn't gaf about the pain I was in. I was like really?? He was like yeah they are NOT in demand. I really doubt that but what do you all think?
Then he led me to this one shoe which was shaped literally like a foot. Not just a wide round toe box, but fully shaped like a foot with a blunt straight edge at the end. It was in this really awful style like something an elf would wear in medieval times. I was just laughing inside.
Come on. If you look at the men's section, all shoes except the dress shoes have a wide round shoe box and look comfy. But the only option for women is an imp shoe??
i wear Vibrams, fuck the patriarchy (except they're sooooo expensive).
