Got these:

And I love them. Wore them once, kept them immaculate. Husband wore them out (despite me asking him not to). Went to a nightclub and now they are filthy, covered in black stains and booze despite best efforts to clean them. Grrrrrrr! Am I being unreasonable to kill him for destroying my new face shoes?

Hmm how does wearing a pair of shoes make someone gay? That'll be why they're so expensive, they're magic.

Definitely get him to replace them! He should have offered already.

MoominsYonisAreScary · 27/09/2013 07:23

All the talk on here about not dressing little girls in pink and how awful the gender stereotyping of toys is, yet men cant wear yellow shoes Hmm

Make him buy you a new pair.

yanbu to be pissed off, he's ruined your new trainers ffs, has he offered to replace them?

ILetHimKeep20Quid · 27/09/2013 07:49

Yanbu to be annoyed by but they are well minging, he done you a favour!

Shoes live on the ground, they are going to get dirty.

sophiedaal · 27/09/2013 08:27

Get some verucca treatment stuff and leave it somewhere prominent in the bathroom. Like, next to his toothbrush.

idococktailshedoesbeer · 27/09/2013 09:34

If my DP did this he'd be mortified and offer to buy me a new pair straight away. Especially if I hadn't wanted him to wear them in the first place. What has your DH said?

BuskersCat · 27/09/2013 09:57

replace his toothpaste with vagisal

BurberryQ · 27/09/2013 10:00

Grin gosh a teenage marriage how romantic.....

QueenofallIsee · 27/09/2013 10:07

I would be v v fecked off with that and would ask for a replacement ASAP

absentmindeddooooodles · 27/09/2013 10:11

Definatley get him ro replace them.
Im bloody glad dp has such big feet. If he could steal my shoes hed wreck the lot!

bebopanddoowop · 27/09/2013 10:28

They are cute vans! I say he should buy you new ones otherwise seek revenge and steal some of his!

I'm glad my DH and I don't have the same size feet - he's always eyeing up my brogues!

ScarletLady02 · 27/09/2013 10:28

YANBU to be pissed off, he should replace them.

Me and DH have almost the same size feet and I'm even taller than him Shock

And I'm also with the gender stereotype comments on here...how do shoe's make someone gay?

Dawndonnaagain · 27/09/2013 10:31

Dh has smaller feet than me, he has been known to borrow my Docs.
As for the Vans, your dh should replace.

bicyclefish · 27/09/2013 10:31

to actually answer your question (seemingly not something that too many have actually done here) YANBU and he should feel guilty enough for this not even to have arisen, what is his take on this?

TrinityRhino · 27/09/2013 10:33

yanbu at all

he should buy you new ones

he should also ask before he borrows your shoes

WeAreSeven · 27/09/2013 10:40

It is well-known that yellow shoes turn men gay.
And hiking boots turn women lesbian.
They come with a warning label and everything.

Floggingmolly · 27/09/2013 10:40

No bloke can pull off yellow shoes. I'll bet he looked a right arse.

MusicalEndorphins · 27/09/2013 10:41

Yanbu. He is responsible to return them in the same condition. New shoes for you.

MisselthwaiteManor · 27/09/2013 10:41

If I wear a beret will I turn French? I'd quite like to be French.

WeAreSeven · 27/09/2013 10:46

For sure, Sarah! You'll be having croissants for breakfast and snails for lunch in no time at all!

KittiesInsane · 27/09/2013 10:50

Ha. I can get both my feet into one of DH's.

has to admit this isn't a good look though

TheBigJessie · 27/09/2013 10:52

What's with all these comments on his masculinity?

Some of you are very... erm old-fashioned.

Yellow shoes do not shrink testicles. The issue is not "gay bars". Gay men are not magically attracted to yellow shoes, either.

Mawgatron your husband should be grovelling. He took something of yours, after you asked him not to, and then he wrecked it. It's not on, whether it's your sister, your best friend, or your husband.

And he still has not come up with a payment plan for replacing them yet!?

ScarletLady02 · 27/09/2013 10:52

To test the theory that men can't pull off yellow shoes I discovered these...

I mean...just....WHY???

HairyGrotter · 27/09/2013 10:54

The shoes look more masculine than feminine, IMO.

Never knew genders were only allowed to wear specific colours?! Learn something new everyday!

YANBU to ask him to replace your shoes, but I'd ask for a less masculine pair Wink
