Holiday gift idea: I know NOTHING about women's shoes

    On this side, I will agree with 21.

    If we wear four-inch heels that hurt our feet so you boys can look at our legs, we can look ridiculous while we wear comfy boots for a couple hours.

    I'll throw my vote behind this, too, although I had to get rid of my Uggs (purchased in 2002 or so) because they hurt my feet, so not so comfy for me. Warm as hell, though. I now have a pair of fake Uggs that aren't quite as moon boot-ish and don't hurt my feet at all.
     
  3. At the mall yesterday ... spot some young girl (older teen or young college chick) with her beau. It's 20 degrees outside, but she's wearing cut-off shorts.
    She's got a white vest on, cut-off shorts and these shitty-looking fur boots that go to the knees.

    I would wear Uggs if my orthotics fit in them. There is no vanity at the street car stop when it's 30 below.

    Just be glad she didn't ask for a Chanel bag. I can't stop laughing.

    That is awesome. And judging by his suggestion that they go live under the Granville Street bridge, I think it's from my hometown of Vancouver. :)

    Two words -- stylish boots.

    The heck with women's boots, shoes or gloves.
    If a guy wants to drive himself crazy, try shopping for women's clothes online using a company's sizing chart. The clothes come in S, M, L, XL, 1X, 2X, 3X.
    The sizing chart lists dress size, bust size, hips measurement and waist measurement.
    If the chart shows her needing one size based on the dress size and another size based on the bust size and you have no idea what the hips or waist measure (and women's clothing doesn't show that - I tried checking labels), can cause a guy to bang his head against the wall if he wants to buy a surprise gift for his wife. I had it narrowed down to one of two sizes and opted to take a chance and go with the larger one.

    Buy her a pair of Doc Martens and claim that's what you thought she meant.
