Do you think they wear them or sniff them? If you check some of there feedbacks they have brought different sizes

why is it such a big deal that the heels are worn down, or that they've been reheeled I wonder? though probably safer not to ask!

ARRRGGGG!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!
I've woken up to a question from America-

'Are the insoles edible??? Your Pumps are perfect- my dream. Please tell me they smell?? Do they have footprints inside? Will you post more pictures on the listing???'

OMFG.

I said: 'Uh, they smell a bit, have faint imprints and I don't know about the insoles?!'

Bananaknickers · 06/12/2006 09:36

scary and feel a bit guilty now.You?

LadyOfThePoinsettias · 06/12/2006 09:38

why you feel guilty?

OP posts:
jeangenie · 06/12/2006 09:38

according to that article you are doing the world a favour selling your manky shoes, maybe even preventing a burglary...

Bananaknickers · 06/12/2006 09:41

because they are a bit sad? do lap dancers get the same tinge of guilt? Nah come on lets sell some more. Why don't they rod those charity bins in car parks that collect old shoes?

i thought that too. if we are willingly offering our shoes, they can get hem easily and legally. we are providing a service.
tbh, if my used shoes are worth a couple of quid, better in my pocket then in landfill I say! lol
