Good news, women of the world! The only occasions you’re going to have in your life to buy shoes boil down to finding your first husband and taking the kids to school. At least, according to Nine West’s “Shoe Occasions” category, which includes two lonely entries: “Starter Husband Hunting” and “First Day of Kindergarten.”
Because everyone knows that when a woman is pregnant she’s barefoot, and apparently will have no occasion to shod her feet after catching that lucky fella and crying buckets of motherly tears when the young ones go to school, right?
But what about shoes for delivering the baby, asks Buzzfeed’s Sapna Maheshwari on Twitter? Or shoes to accompany said starter husband to the Big Dinner At The Boss’ House Where It’s Very Important We Make A Good Impression?
Not even going to ask about shoes for a woman to wear when she hears there are only two important shoe occasions in life and snagging your first job/signing an important client/being a normal person aren’t included.

My mama stayed barefoot and pregnant for the first 10 years of her marriage , she fixed all seven of our lunches every day. She made our dinner , put us to bed , washed our clothes , washed our bodies , cleaned our home , all of this without the use of one leg because of polio when young. Beside that we didn't even have running water or a bathroom.
My mama was the greatest , I miss her.
Not to worry 12:08pm, you'll get to see her again, in the not to distant future. She's fully aware of your post here today and is beaming with pride at her loving child. Till then, keep faith.
