First female finance minister buys new shoes the day before

[applegrove]

she presents a federal budget in Canada. And fabulous shoes they are. Much better than the Oxford we are used to seeing. The tradition has been improved.

1. Those are fabulous!

I also love the yellow pumps on the sales clerk. Wish I could walk in heels like that.

3. I had 1.5 inch pumps when I was young. Never tried the higher ones.

2. Oh hell, stilettos!

I even tell my daughters they're foolish.

4. Well, good for her, except that such very high heels cause all kinds of problems.

When I was an airline employee, lo these many years ago, I had to wear high heels on a concrete floor for 8 plus hours per day. Lots of plus hours. My feet hurt every single day for ten years. The up side was that I could Christmas shop and never wear out, unlike everyone else I knew.

I am not charmed by these shoes. Not at all.

6. I worked in the Trudeau Airport in Montreal. I worked in the USDepartures section and had a long way

to walk in those marble or stone floors. I quickly figured out that high wedge shoes were the best with a two inch cushion between my feet and the floor. Saved me really.

5. Only one pair?!

Good choice for starters. Yea, the yellow shoes could be next. When I was younger n had to dress professionally, I had tons of shoes..not trendy ones but classic good shoes. I’m long retired n have given all those shoes away but I love a new pair every once in a while. Best wishes to the finance minister

7. Ouch

8. OMG, why does anyone wear those things?

They're horrible for your feet and back and they don't even look attractive - just weird.

9. She's a big girl. She can wear what she wants.. I like the running

shoes too. These are modern times.

[Ocelot II]

10. Of course she can wear what she wants; I just don't understand

why she wants to wear those things. They're damaging and hideous.

[applegrove]

11. Well I am secretly glad I was too old for stilettos. I wear blundstones.

12. Nothin' happier than a woman with new shoes.
