1. All the fine shoes are always size 36

So the rest of us should not wear shoe?

2. When your boyfriend asks for your size and you have have to open your mouth to tell him ‘Size 46’

The shame.

3. His face, when you reveal the big secret

“Babe, your feet are bigger than mine?”

4. You, when you order shoes online and they’re too tight

And they say they have ‘no return’ policy.

5. When someone dashes you nice shoes and they don’t want to fit

What a betray!

6. When you have to get a shoe that’s your size as opposed to getting one that you actually like

Is this how life is?

7. You, when your old shoes are getting tight but you don’t want to let go

By force by fire.

8. When you finally find lovely shoes that fit, you’re like

AT LAST!

9. And so you have to wear them every day

Before nko?

10. You, when someone tries to do gbeborun about your ‘one shoe’,

Wee you keep kwayet?

11. When you’re shopping and you see that larger sizes are even more expensive

Did I choose to have donkey feet?

12. When you want to try your friends shoes and they say ‘don’t expand it for me’

Nawa o!
