Helen asks…
Over-attentive sales assistant, or raging lesbian with a shoe fetish?
Just went to Dune to try on a pair of really nice high heels, as they currently have a 20% deal going on during my lunch break. First of all, I'm a shoe-a-holic and in all my days of shoe shopping, I've never had a woman (some men have tried!) actually help me out of my shoes and help slip the new ones on me. Ok, well, I went a couple of hours ago, the shop was empty and I told the sales assistant (I think she might have been the store's assistant manager, though not sure) if they had the pair of heels in my size. She had one of her colleagues checked and began to comment on the heels I was wearing. She asked me where I got them and if they were comfortable. She began giving me hints about how comfortable they really were... (ie CAn I try them on?). I'm quite possessive about shoes, so I just ignored her and pretended to be interested in a pair of very high red, patent leather, pointed toe stiletto pumps. She immediately beamed and began to rant on how good I would look in them. I told her I wasn't interested, but she refused and said I should at least try them. After a few minutes she comes back with both pairs and asks me to sit. I reach down to slip off my heels, but you should've seen the speed of her hands and she told me not to bother as she would 'cater for all my needs' (that's a direct quote!) She slipped both my shoes off and seemed really interested on the insides of my shoes, rubbing the inner soles and pointing out how worn they were and that my toes had made imprints!! (Uh, they're USED of course there are imprints!!) Anyway, she took her time slipping each of the shoes on my feet and admiring them. At one point, when I sat back down to try the other pair, she told me I had to see if I could dangle them easily enough. Without really understanding what she was saying, she pulled on the heel of my shoe so it would dangle from my toes and asked how it felt. (Seriously!?!?) Anyway, she gave me her card afterwards (do Dune giver their employees business cards!?) and told me to come to her for shoes as she would always give me a discount. Oh! Almost forgot, she actually tried on my shoes!! THe ones I'm wearing at the office. Whilst I went to the mirror with the new pair, I looked back and noticed she had zipped outo f her boots and slipped into my worn heels! She apologised and said she couldn't resist and wanted to make sure 'they were comfortable'. Seriously!? What the hell would you have done? Has anyone had that kind of 'service' at a shoe shop!?!?

Lizzie asks…
stiletto girls... need advice... ?
i have a friend who wears nothing but her high stilettos. shes been wearing heels since she was 15 without any real probs. Shes just 21 and works 2 jobs, one being a sales associate at a designer boutique. here's a pic of my friend's feet... http://i35.tinypic.com/ne9gxs.jpg For the past month or the part of the arch near the balls of my feet real hurt and big toes ache and r sooo tight feeling that she can barely wiggle them. most of the pain is around the balls of her feet and at the base of my toes between the big toes and the second toes. My friend cant barely straighten her toes now especially right after I can finally take them off. she doesn't med insurance yet, but it should start the middle of next month from the marketing company that she just started working for. So, Is there something my friend can do to straighten her toes without having to go to a doctor?
Our pick of the answers:
Looks like bunions to me and if they are painful she should see a Orthopedic surgeon. A pediatrist can help as well but they don't have the same amount of training as an Orthopedic. She should also get atleast 2 opinions. If she needs to wait for her insurance to start she needs to chack into what the company's rules are for pre existing conditions. If this problem is thought to be pre existing there may be limits as to what if anything will be covered. Ask first then see a doc if she can wait.
