Why do women wear open-toed shoes on the subway/rapid transit?

Question

Don't they know that the odds are pretty good getting your feet stepped on! Yesterday a lady cursed at me for stepping on her toes when the subway was jammed with people at rush hour!

Answer 1

Well, I wasn't aware of a dress code on the subway so women can wear what they want but I guess they should be prepared for the occassional toe stepping. I wouldn't know...I don't take subways.

Answer 2

Because they expect people to still use manners perhaps even when it is really crowded? Maybe I'm not like most, but even when it is really crowded I still try and look out for those around me, try to make sure I don't injure anyone or get injured myself.

Answer 3

Because they're into fashion!

Answer 4

For the same reason you see women in high heels at amusement parks!  Go figure!

Answer 5

You should have told that woman next time wear a steel toe shoes.
