Mom:Hi, excuse me Miss? I’m looking for a dress shoe. My usual pair that I’ve had for years have finally been stretched out of shape. They don’t provide anysupportanymore.
Salesgirl:Sure, what kind of shoe are you looking for? We’ve gotstrappy sandals, sleek high heels, edgy pumps, or if you’re looking for something a little more practical, we’ve got Mary Janes, ballerinas.
Mom:Show me some classic high heels,please.
Salesgirl:Ok, right this way. What color did you have in mind?
Mom:Black. Classic.
Salesgirl:Of course. We’ve got this style here that is very popular. Because it’s anopen-toe shoe, you can wear it any time of the year. They look great on everyone.
Mom:Umm. too shiny. And I wear pantyhose with my shoes so let’s look for aclosed-toe shoe.
Salesgirl:OK, these are a very nice pair of leather shoes with atwo-inchheel so they are very comfortable.
Mom:I don’t like thepointed toes. Let me take a look at what else you have. Too high. That one looks like the back would cut into my heel. I have a high instep so I doubt that one will fit properly. I don’t want bows. I find slingbacks very uncomfortable. Those might as well be stilettos. Too modern. Ah, finally, this is what I’m looking for.
Salesgirl:What size?
Mom:Seven-and-a-half.
Salesgirl:Here we are. How does it fit?
Mom:Hmmm.Not good. They’re too tight.The length is right, but the shoe is too narrow and it’spinchingmy toes. And there’d be no room for myinsoles. You know what? I don’t think I have the patience for this today. They just don’t make shoes like they used to. I’ll come back another time.
Salesgirl:Have a nice day, Ma’am.
