The other weekend, Kathy and I went shopping for shoes. Actually, she was looking for some dress boot for winter wear. As for myself, I needed a couple of pairs of dress shoes for work.

Our first stop was Shoe Carnival. To save time, we always split up. Ten minutes later, I had two pairs of shoes but Kathy struck out.

Our next stop was Penny’s. In the past, Kathy had always found boots there so she was hopefully that the trend would continue.

As it turned out, Penny’s had an hours worth of dress boots so I sat down and took a nap. Unfortunately, my nap was short lived as another boot buying couple came over by me and disturbed me.

I have noticed that there is a difference between the way men and women buy shoes. With men, if they like the looks of the shoes and they fit, the are good to go. Not so with women. When women try on a pair of shoes, they have to stand and look at them in front of a mirror. Then, if they like the way the shoes look on them, they might buy them.

At one point in time, a woman tried on a pair of boots and then asked her husband if the boots made her butt look fat. I wanted to tell her that her butt looked fat before she tried on the boots but I didn’t.

In the end, Kathy found a pair of boots as did the woman with the fat butt.
