The Shoe On The Other Foot ?

In agreement with Smitonius and Sonata, with thanks for broaching the sensitive subject of footwear!

Shoes are a topic fraught with despair
if your toes are as curly as your hair,
and won't lie down, no matter what,
but turn their little noses up
at all the shoes that catch your eye,
though common sense won't let you buy!
