Ill fitting shoes may look great but it won't be long before you won't be able to deny the wince and hobble in your step. Never mind the tender ministrations with sweet smelling unguents in the privacy of your room. The scars that form from this kind of self inflicted torture are hard to loose.
The worst is that the torture is self-inflicted, the result of an aching chasm within yourself; hurrying you on to a hell of aching scarred and bunyaned feet - so what if they are a bit tight in the toes (I know I'm a size 37 but they haven't got my size!) and so what if the strap tends to bite a little, it'll stretch - hey shoes do stretch! And so so what if the rivets on the inside scrape up against your foot they look so fancy! Oh come on you gotta suffer to look good ! What's that famous line in Little Women? Better to be elegant than die?? And so you find women all over the world suffering from burnt curls and eyelashes just as much as ill fitting shoes.
Don't tell me you think you're the only one! Look at that pretty girl who just got on the Tube who looks like she was born in those gorgeous shoes. Don't tell me she's not wincing. But she does look so good. And look at the way she leans in to her partner. The way they kiss. They look so perfect together. They have that much coverted aura of a couple that "belong to each other" (hey it's 10am on a Thursday morning don't these people work??)
What!! You think you are the only one who ends up in relationships where the big "L" word and "M" words are taboo? You think you are the only one? Oh please! Enough of the victim act - you know it's quite stale!
Hey! Hold on now no need to start crying! And please no ! For god's sake don't buy another pair of ill-fitting shoes! That's like adding another digit to your infamously huge magic number!
