I have size 11 feet and bunions. I never thought they were weird because my mom and sister both have them and honestly, how much do you look at your friends feet. But the older I get the larger the bunions get so shoes that once seemed comfortable now are not so much. I actually got into an argument with a co-worker because he didn't understand why I wouldn't pay more money for comfortable shoes. I told him that all high heels are uncomfortable, regardless if you get them from Payless or Jimmy Choo.

@kkatt: Meh, I disagree that all heels are uncomfortable- there are definitely degrees. Higher end shoes tend to be made of more foot-friendly materials (satin, leather) than the plastic shoes you buy at payless, so you are less likely to blister. Also, your feet can breathe and so the shoes dont stink as much and your feet are not constantly sweating. The designers also often take into consideration the balance of the shoe- what heel height and placement will be the *most* comfortable. Cheaper brands rarely do this, and so you find lot of shoes that may not even be that high but pinch your feet, wobble, etc. Also, there are brands of heels that are made to be very comfy (see Nike Air technology Cole Haans) and they are, but you can't really find an equivalent for 20 bucks.

@LaFemme: But there are people who just don't find any heels comfortable - they just don't. It sounds like kkatt is one of those folks who just isn't comfortable in very high heels. It isn't a matter of buying the more expensive shoe, it's a matter of the height itself.

@alexawesome: Yeah I understand. If the height is what gets you then nothing will be comfortable; I just do think for a lot of people who have foot issues (myself included) you will be a lot more comfortable if you spend some more money on a good pair of shoes instead of just going for the real cheap paris, because there are definite differnces in construction.

@LaFemme: Hey, there's no question that you get what you pay for, but I've been increasingly frustrated with shoes. I don't think I should have to pay $300 to walk around without being in agony, however, I do agree with what you're saying for the most part. The pleather/plastic shoes are not going to do anyone's feet any favors.

I don't wear stilettos because they make me fall down go boom. But the shoes I'm wearing at moment are like, made of recycled tires, hemp, and unicorn tears, so what do I know?

@funnyface: i have recycled tire shoes too!
I make a thud/smack sound when I fall in stilettos. If I wipe out on stairs, which i do frequently enough in regular shoes, it is a series of sounds followed by painful wailing.

@linnyt is a walking cliché: I have found my people. My boyfriend will be amazed when I tell him I'm not the only woman who is like this. Weirdly enough, I did wear heels a lot when I was working retail. I now don't walk around much at all, and I can't even handle a 2 inch heel.

@alexawesome: I'm just exceedingly awkward. My legs are constantly covered in bruises from bumping into and tripping over things (or nothing at all), and that's without the added problem of heels. I've become so known for my ballet flats that people who know me call them "Sarah Shoes."

So I'm the only one here who thinks those flitty shoes are adorbs, bunions or no?

(At least we're not having the hose/no hose debate.)

I don't really consider not wearing painful stilettos a "concession." The concession is when you deal with the pain because the shoes are oh so damn cute. Not the other way around.

I have absolutely nothing to add to this aside from the fact that Agins is the shit and you should read her book "The End Of Fashion." I don't even think I know what a bunion is....

I don't have bunions, but I don't want to wear stilettos or pointy toes anyway.

I love that there is a tag for 'french resistance'.

then I remembered that most of these tags are for single use. so much for war tales about my great-grandpa blowing up gestapo conventions and making new passports for the oppressed. you know, that type :)

This is literally the fifth ridiculous thing this guy has said in the past few months. Why are people interviewing anymore? Yes, he was adorable once. Yes, he was in a ton of movies, but what has he done for me lately?

Dude is a total douche. Speaking about Brittish soldiers curretly in conflict:

In Burton's day they were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!

The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining

This is silly, but I love it. It's so much nicer to inspire these kinds of convoluted, over the top comparisons, rather than a bland "She's a brunette with big boobs and a bleeding heart"

I hope one day someone takes one look at me and imagines that I look like someone with pert cleavage who would have an Underground Railroad station in my cellar. However, based on my usual facial expressions, they would most likely imagine that I have a bunch of ill-fated dalmatians locked in my attic.
