Ouch. They hurt just to look at.

Luckily, most of us live long enough to just stop caring about strappy sandals.

...coddled by boots and sneakers, ...

On what planet does this author live? Coddled? Boots and sneakers have caused me every bit as much, possibly more, discomfort than sandals. My favorite time of day is when I can kick off my shoes! I consider shoes the worst part of the punishment meted out at the Garden of Eden!

"You've got to just put up with it," she says. "You've got to do it to look cute."

Stupidity at it's "best".

Sores, bumps, blisters - that's so hot.

Obligatory foot binding photo.

My grandma's feet, though nowhere near this bad, did have some similarities due to years of cramming her tootsies into 'way too small shoes.

Yup. Limping and blood running is SUCH a turnon. ;)

Just so they don't wear white before Memorial Day.

"Cute" as defined by a consortium of flaming homosexual designers in Manhattan, of course.

This is why I moved to Florida...so I could live in flip flops!


Not really, but it sure is a big perk!

I for one HATE the way those really pointy heels look. Besides looking like they hurt they make a woman's feet look HUGE!

Punishing the "genuine articles"? Bet the "designers" don't wear the "hot" footwear when they play "dressup".

Yup, this is why I wear shoes as little as possible. As I write this, I am sitting at my desk at work not wearing shoes. I slip them on when I leave my cube, I change into sneakers for the trip home, but as soon as I am back at my desk or inside my house, off come the shoes. When it's warmer than 50 out, I'll get the mail with no shoes too.

Of course, part of the reason I don't wear shoes too much is that it's hard to sit cross-legged on your chair with shoes on. Also very uncomfortable.

But even the APMA knows it's futile to tell women to stay away from the latest foot fashions.

Make that some women! I don't need to be told!

You and me both!
I hate sneakers, but love my sandals, mules, slides etc.

I have on a pair like the first picture and they feel wonderful!

OK, only barefoot feels best.

I've got huge feet. Masochistic shoes were never an option, fortunately for my tootsies :)
