Bare Feet -- Srs Bsnss
Over on Customers Suck, a poster complains about a shoeless customer coming into the restaurant where they work. In the comments ladygzb doesn't understand what the problem is.

After all, not that long ago, people of no means went barefoot as a matter of course, so why shouldn't she have the right to enter a public place with no shoes. Social conventions are meaningless. Going barefoot flaunts convention the way gay and interracial marriage does!

If your feet have a fungus it's the fault of your shoes! I went barefoot all through college and never caught anything like a fungal infection! In short, shoes are just disgusting and they make my feet hurt anyway.

And people keep on arguing with her.

I wear US11-12 womens. : ( Shoe shopping is extremely depressing.

I have:

* Size 9,
* Width AA, and
* Cannot wear heels because of back problems.

...I don't like to talk about shoes.

omg, sympathy!

it's like "hello, salesclerk, I need shoes without heels but that aren't totally worthless ballet flats. no, really, no, I don't want the old lady nurse shoes. please, i'm 25, i just want some cute shoes. oh god, no, really, i meant it about the old lady nurse shoes."


(i also can't wear heels, and my toes are really short, so I can't wear pointy-toes, either.)

Ai, yes. Narrow feet are great when you're a kid, and shoes come in widths, but between 12 and 21, when the ballet pump thing came in, I did not own a pair of shoes without laces, cause they all fell off.

And sandals are all pointy to the big toe, and what are you meant to do if your middle toes are long?

No wacky size here, but...
*completely flat feet, no arch whatsoever
*one foot bigger than the other
*usually high instep (so no Mary Janes)
*fibromyalgia

Almost all shoes hurt. Cannot wear dress shoes, cannot wear any kind of sandal. Feel that shoe shopping is a kind of torture only equaled by my yearly gyn exam. And the latter, at least, is over quicker.

I just wear men's shoes. It's easier to find them in the size I need, and they're usually more comfortable since they have thicker soles.
