Footlocker Complaint - If the shoe fits...wear it? - basketball shoe
basketball shoe - Complaint
FARMINGTON, NEW MEXICO -- I wrote this review if for no other reason than to give you a laugh. This is a true story, you just can't make this kind of stuff up. I was shopping at Footlocker with my wife, and I found a pair of shoes that I liked. A clerk came and asked if I needed anything. I said that these look like something I'd like to try on. He politely asked what size of shoe I wear. I said size-13. We sat and waited for a few minutes, and then he emerged from behind the Wizard of Oz curtain. I swear on my life the following was actually said. He was holding a pair of shoes and said, "We don't have 13's, but will these 9's do"? What? Really? C'mon now! I looked at him and without laughing said, "Are kidding me"? He answered, "No sir, this is all I have them in". LMAO on the inside!! 12's or even 14's I could understand, but a 9? C'mon! What did he expect me to say? "Well, yeah, I guess if that's all you got then I guess I'll have to take them". Does it not dawn on him, that a man with a size-13 cannot even begin to attempt to put on a 9. What good would they have done me. Cut off the front and let my toes dangle out? In hindsight, I should've grabbed them and said, "Sure, let's give them a try". And then proceed to struggle trying them on, and say, "Nope, I guess size-9 just won't fit! That was 4-yrs ago, and I still laugh til' my sides hurt. COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!

I thought for sure you were going to say that he said, "I'm sorry, we don't have a size 13, but will these two 6 1/2's do?" LOL!
When I was shopping for a bra at Sears, I asked the woman if they carried a 'DD' cup size...she said no, but she can sell me a 'C' cup and tried to convince me beyond all doubt that a 'C' is the same as a 'DD'...yeah, right, tell that to my twins when they are oozing out!

i take it you never read the grimm brother's version of cinderella
and just how the stepsisters tried to make that shoe fit
(they cut off parts of their feet, though it didn't actually work cos i think the prince noticed the blood coming out over the sides of the shoe)
maybe he thought you'd do the same?

Funny!
As an aside, I found a great way to get shoes I like because it seems my local stores are always out of my size for any shoe I want. The web site, Zappos.com, has an incredible amount of shoes. If you know what you want, you can just type it in and, voila, they most likely have it. They usually ship my orders overnight, for free, and if I'm not sure of size, I order 2 sizes. There is no tax and also no shipping charge, including returns. You have absolutely nothing to lose. If they are a few dollars more, I figure I'm still coming out ahead because I haven't had to drive around searching for them (and wasting my time).
Thanks for the post, Justice. Sometimes you just have to laugh!
