Shopping for Men's Shoes


Curran: I like these tennis shoes. I need a new pair. 


Beth: We?re here to buy you some dress shoes for attending Chelsey?s wedding. You can?t go wearing those worn out loafers, and you need time to break them in. 


Curran: All right. Just pick whatever you think is suitable and let?s go. 


Beth: Don?t you want to have a say in what you wear? I think these oxfords are nice. What do you think? 


Curran: Great. I?m a size 10 and a half. I?ll try them on and we?ll go. 


Beth: You can?t just buy the first pair of shoes you see. How about these? 


Curran: Those patent leather shoes? They have purple laces 1. Well, if you think they?re okay... 


Beth: No, they?re not. These shoes are totally wrong for the occasion, not to mention hideous 2. I was just trying to get a rise out of you so you?ll pick the shoes you like. 


Curran: But I don?t care what I wear. Just pick a pair. 


Beth: No, you pick. 


Curran: Fine. How about these? 


Beth: No, they?re not dressy enough. They look more like sandals than dress shoes. 


Curran: Then how about these? 


Beth: Those boots? Definitely not. 


Curran: Okay, these then. 


Beth: Those shoes fasten with Velcro. Are you kidding me? 


Curran: Okay, why don?t you just tell me what my taste should be and I?ll buy what you want me to buy? 


Beth: And leave you with no say in your own purchase? What kind of cousin would I be if I did that?
