Some women care about shoes far, far more than makes sense to their husbands / boyfriends.

My several attempts to understand this have been fruitless.

This might belong on the short list of things to work around, rather than work through.

I think it's one of these personality traits you accept, even if you don't understand it.

In women's wear, shoes are not foot wear. They're an accessory.

It's nobody's fault shoes are bigger than earrings except the architect/builder who didn't accommodate that in the closet. :-)
