Um.

Written by sally @ 12:45 am — Section: webby

It’s late (early?) and I am attempting to celebrate the return of my ankles with some online shoe shopping. I go to Zappos, where they let you put in your size and how much you want to spend and then give you your results. So, internet, should I show off my slender, bony, fluidless, twig-like ankles in these hot little numbers or these?

Dear Zappos,

Do not offer the option of shoes under $39.99 if they are only going to be suitable for people named Nana.

Thanks for nothing,
Sally

    Is that first option even properly classified as a shoe?

    The unisex ones, def. Why you plan to wear any shoes at all during your momternity vacation, I have no idea.

    I can totally see you going out for a rocking Saturday night in the clubs in those little pink numbers. Sex-ay.

    Don’t you dare criticize Zappos – not even a little. I love that company so much that when my kid sees a UPS truck, she immediately says, “That’s the man who brings our shoes!” I’m thinking of naming baby #2 Zappos – either that or TIVO.

    Yeah, the categories are pretty broad. Ever need a pair of cute boots? The calf-high leather ones are mixed right in with the hiking ones.

    I had never been to “Zappos” before this post. Then, I went there, and my eyes were burned out by the 1999 website power of ZAPPOS.

    Maybe I accidentally went to a spam linkfarm?

    NEVER AGAIN
