John. Yes, you did nail “it” in your article. The whole thing and then some. I keep telling my male friends that they need to put on the shoes…put on the heels… to actually know what we (women) are talking about. You stuffed your sport-socked-foot in that pointy-toed stiletto and man, you saw! Thank you.
Maybe we could start a club! It would help. I even have an idea for its structure. Involving designer( or not…it will be budget driven) footwear arriving by mail; the boys agreeing to order the shoes because they accompany a free autographed hockey puck (or baseball, it will be seasonally driven) from a sports hero of their choice. Then, well you know the rest. And eureka ( does anyone actually say eureka?) the boys hear, see, feel and we girls finally get to do that “ sigh with relief” thing.
I am being flip. This does not take away from the fact that your article is spot on. Allow me, please, to thank you again.
