I think my girls will stick with their Rocket Dogs.
Oh, yes. I think I’ll just dash right out and snap up a couple of pairs. /s
No.
Yes.
There, that's better.
Now THAT is a pretty shoe!
Cruel Shoes
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.”

I think I saw that in a movie called Jade once.
That is so ugly that it makes me angry. I want to throw something at it.
I like them but they're awful to get in my size. The fish, that is, not the shoes.
Shoe ping.
You know I love shoes, but I think I will pass on these!
Yes, nice looking, I wish it had a little strap around the ankle, something that seems to fascinate me.

D’oh! Sorry! You’re already here! It’s like we have shoe-dar. ;-)
