Why do you try and converse with him???It just gives him a chance to say stupid comments twice, in his own arrogant untruthful way

You're just pissed at me because you're fat. Fat people are generally unhappy.

That's like saying if you can't put shoes on with them already laced up then they are too small. :nono:

How in the hell is that even in the ballpark?

The opening of a shoe is smaller than your foot, and dress footwear doesn't often come with a huge adjustable set of laces to loosen to get your foot in. So you can end up scrapping and smoothing the back of the shoe. That's where the shoe horn comes in.
So getting some dress shoes on without a shoe horn is kinda like trying to put on a pair of athletic shoes without unlacing them first. Possible? Yes. But can also eventually damage the shoe.

And after an out they throw the ball 'around the horn'. :facepalm:

ONLY if you buy shoes that are too small. If your foot was bigger than the opening, a shoehorn wouldn't even help. :shrug:

Can't buy that, either. You can always loosen the laces! Maybe you have to go farther down, but you can do it. I've never had a pair of dress shoes that I could slip my foot into. Maybe I'm rare? I doubt it, though.

I still think you need better fitting kicks.

Athletic shoe laces loosen a LOT more than dress shoe laces (see image). Not only is the shoe more flexible because of the materials, but the laces go farther towards the toe-box. Much easier to get in one than the other. Even if both fit perfectly once they are on.
It is a particular challenge for people with high-insteps (basically a large or more curved metatarsals). The arch of your foot can also influence the ease of putting on shoes.

And you'd have blood stains on your panties when you pulled them back up with those crusty jagged sharp edges

Loose means experienced... and I can always use those laces for a snug fit.

While you're dick is bleeding all I have to worry about is how to get the smell off mine. And I may or may not have experience with that problem

I would have guessed that you used chopsticks.

Excellent post.. I wear Allen Edmnds dress shoes for comfortable walking. Beats the crap out of sneakers.

I wear 'athletic' shoes. I tied them one time, the first time I put them on. No shoehorn, just a little help from my index finger. It really pisses me off if somebody unties my shoe too because it's perfect the way it is. I've had many pairs of shoes get retired and only having been tied one time.

I have to untie and tie my shoes every time. I can't stand for the sock to stretch or get crooked and leave a wrinkle for me to walk on. No wrinkles, perfectly smooth sole of my foot.
