Anna knew she had to have some new shoes today, and Carlo had helped her try on every pair in the store. Carlo spoke wearily, “Well, that’s every pair of shoes in the place.”
“Oh, you must have one more pair...”
“No, not one more pair... Well, we have the cruel shoes, but no one would want...”
Anna interrupted, “Oh yes, let me see the cruel shoes!”
Carlo looked incredulous. “No Anna, you don’t understand, you see the cruel shoes are...”
“Get them!”
Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment, then returned with an ordinary shoe box. He opened the lid and removed a hideous pair of black and white pumps. But these were not an ordinary pair of black and white pumps; both were left feet, one had aright angle turn with separate compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions. The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair with a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place.
Carlo spoke hesitantly, “... Now you see why... they’re not fit for humans...”
“Put them on me.”
“But...”
“Put them on me!”
Carlo knew all arguments were useless. He knelt down before her and forced the feet into the shoes.
The screams were incredible.
Anna crawled over to the mirror and held her bloody feet up where she could see.
“I like them.”
She paid Carlo and crawled out of the store into the street.
Later that day, Carlo was overheard saying to a new customer, “Well, that’s every shoe in the place. Unless, of course, you’d like to try the cruel shoes.”
what about penny loafers? sneakers (a/k/a tennis shoes)?
and slippers (if they count as shoes)
Dick Morris will love this article
I quit doing heels after college. It’s like I couldn’t wait to wear heels, and then a few years after I started I couldn’t stand them.
I would do most of those shoes, but cut the heel height.
However, you have to add a good pair of tennis shoes. I wish they would add cute shoes that are also okay for your feet.
Except for the boots, that would be about my shoe wardrobe.
Can you wear those under a “homeschool jumper”?
I am sooooo jealous. I love Joan and David shoes and have been at their outlet store in Everett many times.
I don’t think I’ve owned 5 pairs of shoes total over the past 6 or 7 years.
I guess I’m a traitor to my gender, but how about NONE OF THE ABOVE!
I’m a barefoot kinda girl....kick off the shoes when I get home and don’t put any on again until I leave the house.
If I didn’t have to meet with military brass in my job all the time, I’d probably try to go barefoot at work —but then, there are usually too many staples in the carpet to dare that....
Link forwarded to Mrs jimfree.
Every married woman should own a pair too!
You mean Manolo Blahnik ...
“You mean Manolo Blahnik ...”
whatever...(rolling eyes)
