When I was a kid my mum used to buy me shoes that I would grow into. If, over the year, my feet failed to grow their predicted amount, the resulting toe vacuum would cause unsightly front shoe collapse. Why then, as an adult would anyone buy shoes with space deliberately built in?
You would think such examples as these would fill me with righteous indignation or contempt, but they just sadden me. They make me realise that you can't really try on a pair of these kind of shoes properly, as when you get to the bit where you pinch the toe and say "uh yeah, that's my toe there" can never happen. Unless you have the oddest shaped feet in the world, you're only ever going to be approximating a fitting of a pair of shoes like these. Just one more reason never to buy them.
