10 Things Your Shoe Salesman Won't Tell You

Filed under: Shoes

Love shopping for shoes? The shoe business is a multi-billion dollar industry and if you love designer labels you've no doubt had plenty of help from a variety of shoe salespeople. Whether talkative and friendly or all business, there are several universal truths when it comes to what that helpful sales person is thinking but would never say out loud.

"Just because I'm kneeling at your feet doesn't mean you're better than me. I'm here to help you with my expertise, not be your servant."

"No one cares how big your feet are. Seriously. Don't ask for a size 7 if you're really a size 9."

"Stop stretching out the sample shoes! Don't try them on if they're not your size -- you're ruining them for everyone else."

"Please don't make me wait while you chit-chat on your cell phone, unless of course you're okay if I do that to you."

"Losing weight will make your legs, knees, and feet feel better but it won't really change how your shoes fit. Don't buy too-tight shoes thinking you can diet your way to a more comfortable fit."

Marc by Marc Jacobs Mouse Ballerina

Although it does not scream high fashion, these Mouse Ballerina Flats by Marc Jacobs are too adorable. I'm not too sure how long the adorable-ness of these will last that will make someone spend $355 - but if you have the money who am I too judge. They are made with pony hair, wires for whiskers, beads for eyes and leather accents for that adorable nose. In my opinion, these are the only way mice look remotely cute – except of course besides Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They feature a padded leather insole and rubber sole for added comfort.
