1,000 reasons why shoes suck. (more if possible!!)

I'll start us off with some obvious ones:

1. They're really hot.
2. They make your feet sweat.
3. They cultivate fungus.
4. Poisonous spiders like to crawl into them (my dad got a brown recluse bite because there was one in his SHOE!!!)
5. They're made often by slave labor
6. They cost money.

There are other obvious ones I'd list, but I'll save them for the rest of you.

I love making threads on forums and stuff....

-weez

 

7.they create clutter.
8.the more expensive they are, the crappier they're made.
9.they cover natural beauty!
10.they come between me and my surroundings.
11.they spread germs
12.they're never a perfect fit...because they only come in so many sizes.
13.they slip on wet surfaces.

 

14. They help create corns, hammertoes and bunions.
15. They smell after long term wear.
16. They need to match your outfit, barefeet go with everything!
17. Many shoe styles are ugly, a bare foot is a work of art!
18. Shoes make you more likely to stumble or trip
19. High heels are bad for women's knees, ankles, toes and causes back problems.

 

20. Wearing them leads to atrophy of calve and feet muscles
21. They are sensory deprivation devices
22. They cause an unhealthy, artificial gait (heel-toe)
23. They create an attitude of "stomping all over everything" rather than "treading lightly"
24. They exacerbate and perpetuate class division
25. They lead to neglect of basic foot maintenance

 

26. wearing them isn't natural
27. they serve no useful purpose
28. you need to avoid water/mud puddles while wearing
29. tossing them when they're worn out adds to the mounds of trash
30. hard to keep looking pristine as when they were new, barefeet ya just wash them
31. you can't sneak up on people while shod

 

32. cause combat boots are better

 

33. Because it's too damn hard to tie them.
34. They can give you blisters.
35. It's all you hear about from those annoying superficial fashion people

 

36. because they create addiction (put a shoddy amidst a gravel quarry, steal away her/his shoes and look)

 

37. They work against your feet's natural tendon/bone structure alignment
38. They can cause back, knee, and ankle problems because of that^
39. Too many different sizing scales and inconsitencies aaaaand.....
40. They can cause headaches because of THAT! ^ :tongue:
41, I kill them too fast! :X

 

42. wearing them for prolonged periods causes one's feet to hurt.

 

43. Long term shoe wearing can weaken arches.

 

44. A lot of them are made from the blood and sweat of little kids.
45. Dogs chew on them, and that's bad for the dog's teeth and digestive tract.
46. they make squeaking noises on the floor sometimes. Which is annoying.
47. They're hard to find when you need them...making you late for things.

 

48. They use waayyy too many of Earth's resources.

 

49. Because Wal-Mart like them.

 

50. Because feet are 3 dimensional (having length, width, and depth) and shoes are only sized on 2 dimensions (length and width)

51. I have to modify every pair I buy because of that(for extra depth)!

52. "Comfortable shoes" are like unicorns; I have heard of these mythical beasts but have yet to encounter any.

 

LOL!! Good one!!

 

53. They make normal feet turn into hideous monsters!!!

 

Like that one? Obviously, you are a man of impeccible taste and superior intellect. :H

Now back to the topic at hand:

54. They make your feet SMELL like hideous monsters
55. They're made to fit manufacturing protocols rather than feet.
56. Quality is a real crap-shoot.
57. They make that annoying "squeek" that makes you wanna take up serial murder as a hobby (at least my new ones do!)!
58. OTOH, being barefoot puts me at peace with myself and my surroundings
59. Since I have yet to hear of renegade gangs of barefooters terrorizing the inner city, I can't be the only one.

 

60. Not only do shoes squeak, they can make the annoying "flip-flop" sound as well.
61. Those light-up shoes that little kids have are really distracting and annoying.
62. Mud is much less fun with shoes.

 

63. I can't go rock-climbing properly in shoes. No grip whatsoever.
64. Shoes block off our connection to the Earth.
65. When you're on holiday you get tanned everywhere except your feet.
