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 laces¹. Well, if you think they?re okay... 

Beth: No, they?re not. These shoes are totally wrong for the occasion, not to mention hideous². 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?
