It just looks so ordinary on the shelf, and then this wonderful surprise moment when you lift it up and see the little kitten heel (which really is almost like a nail, BTW).<BR/><BR/>I'm always somewhat self-conscious about trying on shoes in outlets--there's something awkward and inelegant about it.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe I'm just a klutz.Suzanna Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608476858881481560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-73961666027896653862008-01-15T20:58:00.000-05:002008-01-15T20:58:00.000-05:00Physics and not the incongruity of the heel, ehhhh...Physics and not the incongruity of the heel, ehhhh?

I can imagine that kitten heel creating some pretty painful pressure points...the only saving grace is that it wasn't a full stiletto (though I'd like to see the pratfalls that come with those).Blue Floppy Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924517166595597734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-51908817377042621512008-01-13T23:13:00.000-05:002008-01-13T23:13:00.000-05:00Heather, you'd have rocked those slides.

That shoe does look good, but maybe too good to be true... maybe they should just go ahead and send it to a nice museum somewhere where it can be looked at as the piece of sculpture it really is.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658201108089955819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-14870579965601368292008-01-13T10:58:00.000-05:002008-01-13T10:58:00.000-05:00SB, we leave it to you to have the inside scoop!Yo...SB, we leave it to you to have the inside scoop!<BR/><BR/>Your information makes me wonder why such a lemon of a shoe was not just pulled from production or from shelves. Instead, it ends up a still-expensive item with a dangerous design flaw, being perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. I'm telling you, one step forward and whammo!<BR/><BR/>WB, you always make me laugh.Suzanna Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608476858881481560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-15147957806496405042008-01-13T08:54:00.000-05:002008-01-13T08:54:00.000-05:00I know for a fact those Fendi sandals underwent ac...I know for a fact those Fendi sandals underwent actual femme testing but still it faltered..... as per your account.... what a pity as the shape was so ludicrous that I had full faith in its ergonomics...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816469959412140243.post-58992393284785301712008-01-13T08:51:00.000-05:002008-01-13T08:51:00.000-05:00Those shoes look ill-intentioned.Those shoes look ill-intentioned.WendyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985099019783464580noreply@blogger.com
