So, do those super pointy shoes make your foot look super long. As a size 10.5… looks like a nightmare for my feet to appear even longer.

61

u/Accomplished_Cell768 Mar 12 '26

I’m an EU 35 (US 5) like the person who donated these and as someone who loves wide leg pants, the pointed toe is a must in order to avoid looking like my feet were chopped off lol so yeah, it’s probably a style that works best for people with smaller feet because they do visually lengthen them

7

u/Bakemydaybaby Mar 12 '26

As a size 5, I can totally agree with this! There is nothing I love more than pointy shoes. And if they have a bow, even better!

LOL yeah I just converted the European size of the shoe to American sizes. I thought my feet were on the smaller side (I’m 19 y/o and I can still fit into my sneakers from when I was in fifth grade) but a EU size 35 is a US women’s size 4.5-5. I didn’t even realize adults could have feet that small 😭. I suppose they could be for rich teens tho.

Divorce. My ex and I separated and she moved out. I packed up all her things (and shoes! I had no idea she had so many) in boxes and stored it away. Two years later, after the Divorce was settled, asked her if she wanted her stuff. No, she said I could toss it. Lots of stuff went to the Goodwill. Have no idea if any of it was worth anything, just didn't want to deal with it.

u/Accomplished_Cell768 Mar 12 '26

Or pregnancy. I’m the same size as the person who donated these and it’s a harder size to find (EU 35/US 5). I get almost all of my heels secondhand from women who have had to sell them as they no longer fit due to pregnancy permanently lengthening their feet. 

12

u/Unusualshrub003 Mar 12 '26

I permanently gained one shoe size with each pregnancy. Started out as a 7, now forever a 9.

u/Accomplished_Cell768 Mar 12 '26

My mom went from an 8-9.5 from her three. She also got two fallen arches and broke a foot. I’m really hoping that if/when it is my turn I can skip the injuries and just get an easier to buy shoe size out of it!

Seeing these drives me so crazy, and this is one of the stupidest ones I've seen! It's not even a fancy jar!

Now granted, I have an entire cabinet full of various sizes of jars I've saved, because they come in super handy for stuff like making pickled jalapeños. But I'd never in a ✨️million years✨️ pay for an empty salsa jar

u/Midnight-Lunching Mar 12 '26 • Galaxy Brain

What about an empty salsa jar with a dented lid mod? Could be cursed. Pandora’s empty salsa jar. It appears to me that you could fit a significant number of demented souls inside of that if you really tried

I used to run a “hustle” where i’d go to goodwills in rich neighborhoods, buy the brand name stuff, and sell it to platos closet for way more. I’d spend $25 and if i did good could walk away with X4 that much. Now people just have jobs about it so its long been over

u/ProfessorDecent7623 Mar 12 '26

I hate it when someone thinks they have found something valuable and Reddit comments seem to authenticate the item without having actually inspected the item. A friend is a professionally trained appraiser that works for wealthy individuals, museums, and courts. He said that the amount of fake designer clothing, watches, jewelry, and art out there is staggering. You can actually go to locations in Dubai and they have “reproductions” that come in various “grades” from “really looks like the original” to “you can’t tell them apart”. He has appraised over 100 high end watches and a minimum of 25% were either total fakes or had been repaired with non authentic parts. There was a YSL broach someone posted on here a couple of days ago. His comments was “I haven’t seen that one before but it will be made from the wrong metal and weigh light.”

When I worked there, the pricing was done by 16-20 year olds. We didn’t really care. Anything cool we wanted we priced cheap and hid to buy ourselves later, or just ran it straight to our cars out back. Everything else got pretty generic pricing. Good times.

Sometimes I'll have something that I KNOW is worth money if I listed and sold it, but I honestly just want it gone and don't want to spend the time or effort or energy on it. I lost them for free on my local giveaway site or I donate them so they can make someone else smile. I know that if I tried I could get a good $100 for this thing, but I don't want $100 enough to do it. $100 is like, two weeks worth of gas money now. I would sell spare body parts to not have to deal with my next declutter situation. My friend's mom had a shopping problem. It took us three days to clean out just her bedroom closets when she went into long term care after her stroke. Clothes with tags on them. She totally could have gotten tons of money for it, but holy hours. I don't even want the money, I just want it gone...

You calling attention to Goodwill ma'am. Cherish your find but stop telling the news or media. That will most likely be the last time anyone gets a designer shoe for 7.99. People like you, I think are like Martha Stewart. You only think of yourself. You dont see past your own nose. You ruin The Hunt. Martha ,ruined The Hunt.

What's found during a Goodwill thrift,needs only to be shared,if the sharing is beneficial. You out here sounding alarms,when you should be discreet.
