Saleswoman: Welcome to SPRING SHOES! A tribute to the amazing balancing act of modern women! The extreme stiletto tilts the foot forward so the entire body perches on the big toe! The rocker-soled athletic shoe tilts the foot backward so the whole body teeters on the heel! Every day the body is literally hurled back and forth between extremes, crushing then stretching every muscle in the leg... ...as women bravely try to balance HOTNESS and FITNESS! Cathy: What happened to trying to balance career and family? Saleswoman: Didn't sell any footwear.
