Lecturing on the importance of pronouns including some I’d never heard of before (zhe?) and being inclusive

Then ironically in the email the shoe links - women’s, men’s and children’s

So biology matters with feet but not with reality?!

Mind blown.

Unsubscribed.

I’m so exhausted with this nonsense

Just checked - their women’s shoes go up to a size 8.
I agree about the moralising to make money about anything is intensely irritating when you know it’s just words.

IchHabeSiebenFlowers · 05/08/2021 20:06

I've also unsubscribed - I'm annoyed with their virtue signalling. Even more so because I always buy my Chelsea boots from them and now I'll have to find another pair I like as much.

If my right shoe identifies as trans, do I have two left feet?

As someone who falls into multiple minority groups (female, Asian, Muslim, disabled) tickbox stunts like this just make me roll my eyes so hard. I wonder if they write it in their calendars "this week we will pretend to care about LGBT+, next week it's Black History Month, oh and then it's International Women's Day, tick tick tick"

Newnewnew1179 · 05/08/2021 19:50

I’ve had that as well. Luckily they sent it before I’ve got round to the back to school shoe and trainer shopping.
I’ve never seen such a pile of virtue signalling crap. I emailed back and asked them what are they doing to help other minority groups and also where were their size 12 women’s shoes. Also unsubscribed

I feel I ought to say that I detest ANY and ALL moralising from entities out to take my money and sell me tat (because that’s what it is, at the end of the day) regardless of what topic they’ve decided to lecture me on.

GO AWAY. I’m willing to bet I walk the walk 100 times more powerfully and meaningfully in my own small way than you and your corporate shit merchant agenda ever will. Sort out your global footprint and your supply line/employee welfare before you EVER presume to lecture me on living well.

I don't know, do you have twitter? they have a page and people send them mundane queries, they get back pretty fast to complaints.

@Anotheruser02

Are you letting the know why you are unsubscribing too?
I actually haven’t. Is it an attended mailbox?

I've had a few orders from Schuh online, I think I must check out as a guest though because they never email me.

Abhannmor · 05/08/2021 19:30

What about tiger feet ? I'll just get me coat then....

RustyBear · 05/08/2021 19:30

Women's shoes are size 2-9, men's are 6-13.

UnfinishedBunting · 05/08/2021 19:25

I unsubscribed too.

MarianneUnfaithful · 05/08/2021 19:19

Where are zhe size 12 kitten heels?

Lottapianos · 05/08/2021 19:17

What a load of stupid bullshit. So tired of this nonsense

Classicf · 05/08/2021 19:16

Yep I got it too. But I knew from the title not to open it lest my blood boil. Good idea to unsubscribe.

Tablow · 05/08/2021 19:16

What sizes are the men's and women's shoes in though? I bet a lot of the women's shoes don't go up to size 12

I'm as irritated by virtue-signalling gender bollocks as the next person, but I don't see any contradiction in them labelling their shoes as for women, men and children tbh. Presumably they are simply marketing their women's shoes to anyone who identifies as a woman, and their men's shoes to anyone who identifies as a man. Biology doesn't come into it (for them).

OzziePopPop · 05/08/2021 19:11

How is zhe pronounced? Zuh-he? Or Ze?

Either way…. Ludicrous!

HeronLanyon · 05/08/2021 19:10

Oh ffs. Having never in my life Bligh shows from them the very next thing on my todo list is ‘schuh trainers’. Really liked them. No way now.

Ninkanink · 05/08/2021 19:08

I kinda wish I still did a load of shopping so that I could rant at/discontinue my shopping with companies that do this. FUCK RIGHT OFF with your lecturing, hectoring, patronising twaddle. You are not my moral superiors!! You’re trying to sell me shit!! Stick to that for GOD’S SAKE!!

I can hardly shop anywhere these days!

Tablow · 05/08/2021 19:05

Zhe just makes me think 'don't mention zhe war!'

Ringsender2 · 05/08/2021 19:03

Virtue-signalling bobbins. Hilarious!

Anotheruser02 · 05/08/2021 19:02

@UserStillatLarge

Did you write back and ask where the shoes for non-binary people were?
Grin Brilliant.
