I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.

      And they’re so much more comfortable, it’s ridiculous. It’s like the shoe industry decided, several decades ago, that men don’t want comfortable shoes.

        i have bad news, they decided that no one wants actually comfortable shoes. Women just get slightly less actively uncomfortable ones.

        minimalist shoes are a whole different universe, i love my wildlings winter shoes because they’re basically just thick socks with a rubber outsole.
        You know how people have to “wear in” their shoes to avoid chafing? yeah that’s just not a thing with good minimalist shoes.

            Women get comfort

            I know there are no women on Lemmy but CMON are we really going to say the people wearing high heels have the comfortable shoes? 🤣

            Hol up, y’all have pockets on your shoes? I’m getting neither comfort nor pockets.
