    Uhm… you switched the X and Y axes. Looking more retarded doesn’t make you wear larger wedges.

  2. boaks says:

    I think the graph is very clever and well-made, but I tend to disagree with the data…

  3. Karen says:

    FINALLY! I was wondering if I was the only person who thought this. I want to beat these girls to death with their own shoes!

    • Mirkwood says:

      Can we include Ugg boots and crocs and flip-flops-in-the-winter? Pretty plz?

      • Karen says:

        Anything with the word Ugg in it and anything that starts with “croc” and isn’t a crocodile can safely be added to the list. I don’t have a flip-flop issue unless it’s these big fatties that flippity-floppity as loud as they possibly can past my cubicle 100 times a day.

        • emjay says:

          whenever I see a girl in boots in summer or those ugg things, I’m thinking, if you wear those for more than an hour you’re going to have sweaty legs and ankles, not to mention feet, gross.

      • Blitz says:

        Please Uggs and Crocs. But flip-flops are quite wearable in the winter in say, Arizona.

        • Kai says:

          Hawaii and California, it’ll slide, but I’m pretty sure it snows in a lot of places in Arizona in the winter. o.o

        • Neinna says:

          Arizona, yes. But wearing flip-flops here in Michigan where I’m at, in the dead of winter, and complaining about cold, wet feet? No. Unacceptable.

          And I’d say skinning 10 cats is NOT ok for a pair of boots, but that stuff is too god aweful to be even fur from a mangy coyote. Never heard of “Crocs”, though. I’ve probably seen them, though.

          • Ajexa says:

            Those are those ugly things that are super-light, make your feet sweaty, and have holes in them that you can put ‘charms’ in. If you ever see some weird looking plastic bows, flowers, or Dora the Explorer in a plastic bag for sale, that’s what they’re for. Very uncomfortable and unflattering. Imagine garden cloggs breeding with swiss cheese, lol!

    • someone says:

      Was that an intended Wayne’s World reference? Cause that’s so where my mind went.
      “I had to beat them to death with their own shoes….”

    • J says:

      I, being too civilized for such things, would rather shoot the heals out from under them and watch them all fall over.

    • Person says:

      What do you have against wedges? Some of them can be pretty ugly, but some of them are nice.

  4. MLC says:

    Haters. To each their own.

    • ay dios mio says:

      Yes, yes there is. In the hunter gatherer since of the word.

      • Sussy says:

        Well, that depends… some people find amazon tall woman attractive. And Those shoes are impractical, but I find them adorable.

        • Pencilsharpener says:

          The rapist who murders you will find them adorable and very practical, as they will help him catch you easily.

          • Ajexa says:

            Oooooh. See, that’s why i wear sneakers all the time! Call me paranoid, but in the news business, we don’t look at eachother funny when we wear nice clothes with sneakers. We have to run from a lot of crazy people!!

  5. Mark Twang says:

    I wouldn’t say “retarded”….but rather “skanky”.

    • Mark Twang says:

      When you see a woman in a 3″ heel…fine….when you see a woman in a 7″ heel….skanky. I’ve never seen a respectable woman in a extravagantly large heel.

    • prisbro says:

      when said wedge also has ribbons/straps/cords/whatever that lace up to the wearer’s thigh… yeah, that’s skanky.

    • emjay says:

      I think the point here is that wedge shoes of ’08-09 will be out of style and laughed at in pictures like big hair in the 80′s. some people like them now, just like everyone had pointy toe heel 5 years ago when wedges were trying to come back again… wedge shoes come in and out of style every 10 years or so, and right now the oversize wedges remind people over 25 of what we refered to as f* me heels, or stripper shoes. women’s heels’ styles go in phases… wedges are trendy, that’s all.

  6. Heath says:

    So if they wear really high stilettos instead, they’re not skanky?

  7. Vi says:

    Ugh, I agree with this graph. Some wedges can look…okay, but cork wedges are so nasty.

  8. Jill says:

    Totally disagree with this graph.

  9. Jill says:

    *removes her cork wedge heels and slips on crocs

    • Devylan says:

      *takes your crocs off of your feet, flings them out the window, and begs you to put the cork wedge heels back on… pleeeeease!

  10. Rika says:

    i don’t see any graph there

  11. Alex says:

    those shoes look really cute. i’d wear it.

  12. Roscoe says:

    Guessing a fat woman or a boyfriend of a fat woman made this graph (and failed a bit) because no heel could support her weight. HIGH HEELS F**K YEAH! :D

    • Fluuu says:

      Yay to high heels, but that’ not what the graph is about. The graph is about the stupid wedged heels.

      I agree with the graph, almost every pair I’ve seen of these are terribly stupid. A few are OK. The cork heels are the worst.

      • Pencilsharpener says:

        Yeah, have fun running for any reason whatsoever in your high heels. I’ll be at that meeting on time, and get that promotion you were wanting…

        • lexi says:

          actually, i can run in heels as well as i can run in sneakers; granted, there are some girls who cannot for the life of them walk in heels and wear them anyway…buuuut there are some girls who can do it very, VERY well.

  13. Ferret-X says:

    So…it’s less retarded to wear standard heels where you’re more likely to fall over and break your ankle?

    • Inked_Hippie says:

      learn how to walk in real heels and maybe you wouldn’t need the corked training wheels

    • Ela13 says:

      I actually have a more difficult time walking in wedges then I do in heels… and I know a few people that are the same way. You just have to start out with real heels and you will never need the help a wedge supposedly provides.

      • Naoyusimi says:

        Since I injured my leg in a car accident, I’m glad I can wear a heel of any height, even if it’s not too tall and even if they ARE wedges (because they’re definitely more comfortable).

        What I wish is they would make more “in-between” heel heights of say, 2-2.5″. When I went to get shoes for a wedding, there were hardly any choices between near-flats and 4″ and up. Some shoe designers out there obviously want to injure and ruin women’s feet for life.

  14. HellHathNoFury says:

    Now all we need is a ‘size of hoop earring=amount of skankiness’ graph

    • eman says:

      Totally agree with the hoop earrings comment. I’m waiting to see some large enough that one puts their arms through them–like a jacket– and they hang down to one’s waist.

    • prisbro says:

      when circus animals start leaping through your earrings, its time to wear studs.

  15. Tabby says:

    Wedges are actually easier to walk in than heels, apparently.

  16. Allie says:

    To all the wedge haters-
    My Christian Louboutin wedges would walk all over you but I’ld hate to get them dirty with your total lack of fashion sense.

  17. Suzie says:

    Agree. Learn to wear real heels and skip the wedges. You won’t need them and you won’t look dorky like you made you shoes out of the office bulletin board.

  18. erin says:

    should change how retarded to look to how retarded you are.

  19. eat it. says:

    how has now one commented on this guy having too much free time at work? i can haz job?

  20. Me says:

    I like how wedges look, so SUCK IT.

    • Duke says:

      I like how every commenter that supports wedged heals thus far has used well thought-out arguments like this. Way to drive your point home.

      In all seriousness, these heals are for younger teen girls who finally grew tired of make-up, so they they need something else to fill their “fashion” void.

  21. waldy says:

    Oh, good, let’s use the word “retarded” as a synonym for “stupid.” That’s very respectful of folks with disabilities. Fail to GraphJam for posting something so insensitive.

  22. forge says:

    Unless you’re Miranda Kerr.

  23. wedgeman says:

    There’s something so sexy about watching a woman stagger around, barely able to walk.

    Especially great when she’s carrying an SUV-purse filled with what are apparently bricks, that throws off her balance.

    Throw in some cleavage, leggings+miniskirt, raccoon-eyes, and bottle-blonde with roots and you have a real winner.

    • Sigourney says:

      sounds like a lot of girls at my school.

    • forge says:

      Which is why I said “Miranda Kerr.” The woman’s 5’9″ and probably 108 pounds soaking wet, has legs that while pretty are very slim, and still manages to look cute, elegant and sexy all at the same time walking around on a pair of idiotic pink polka-dot wedge shoes. I totally don’t get it.

  24. muepsilongamma says:

    How about you idiot skank women just wear flats? They can look just as good without you looking slutty. It’s not like feet are sexy anyway.

    And waldy, “retarded” IS a synonym for “stupid.” Just like “gay” and “lame” are. Get over it.

  25. Kai says:

    Eh, leave the wedges alone; they’re not that bad.. Stilettos, Uggs, Crocs and Socks-and-sandals, on the other hand….

    Ready, aim, fire!

  26. Rachel says:

    Whats wrong with uggs? I mean, they are comfortable…and…they are boots…and they are plain and simple…go with almost anything…good for my Wisconsin winters…I wish someone could give me an intelligent reason for why they are put in the same catergory as crocs?

  27. pso says:

    Crocs and Uggs are birth control worn on the feet.

  28. That Hippie Chick says:

    I dunno. I think it was easier to find cute wedges before the fashion world “rediscovered” them. Now they’re about as overdone as those shuttered sunglasses.

  29. jonofdeath says:

    I used to have a boss that would wear these kinds of shoes in public on purpose just so she could fall on her ass and sue the place.

  30. Elle says:

    Love how you attack wedges when only the cork ones look like crap, and not Uggs, crocs or those fur lined moccasins. I wear wedges because I’m not afraid of killing myself in them when I wear them during the day like stilettos.

  31. Aldyth says:

    Do you realise that using the word “retarded” in this way is as insulting to people with intellectual disabilities as using the “n” word is to a person of color? People with disabilities don’t deserve to be mocked in this way.

    • Shalindria says:

      Yeah, and it causes communication problems. Like when I was telling a friend about my new teacher, I said he’s so gay. Well then I had to clarify that he is homosexual, he is not a lame teacher, however.

    • Sara says:

      Do YOU realise aldyth that this is a comedy page brought to us by FAIL.org? Lighten up for goodness sake

      • Pencilsharpener says:

        DO YOU realize, Sara, that language has powerful implications that include the possibility of a marginalized group to subsume all implications assigned to their identity, especially if it is taken on at a young age? Realize that there is something to political correctness, for the sake of all.

        • Sara says:

          If a marginalized group or a single person for that matter, “subsumes” (I do not think you are using this word in the right context but heck I will play along), anything on a comedic website such as this then their problems are way more complex then can be dealt with by a posting on said website.

        • abby says:

          get off your pc high horse. it’s not so hard. it helps when one of your “intellectually disabled” friends calls you retarded, i know from experience. oh, but pc folks don’t usually have any intellectually (or otherwise) disabled friends. because people like that have pity and indignation galore for “different” people from way up on that high horse, but they never consider that they might be an equal, and worthy of friendship, or that they might be perfectly capable of fighting their own battles. no, not the pc folks, they just have to be the ever vigilant knight in shining armor, defending the helpless from the terror of imagined bigots.
          stay up there on that high horse, i’ll be down here in the streets with my “intellectually disabled” friends having a good time while you argue over semantics. and if someone ACTUALLY CALLS someone a “retard” or uses any other REAL insult, my friends and i can fight the real bigots together as equals.

      • Aldyth says:

        Nope. I won’t lighten up when people use hate language against anyone.

    • abby says:

      only an asshole would see the word “retarded” and immediately think of intellectual disabilities.
      do you see the word the word “lame” and immediately think of people on crutches?
      do you see the word “gross” and immediately think of 144?
      no, you don’t.
      you KNOW the person who wrote this did not intend to mock anyone with any disability.

  32. Tiblet says:

    I have to agree with Aldyth. It’s just wrong to use retarded as a synonym to stupid. Have some common courtesy (or maybe you’re just common?).

  33. sue says:

    did you really need to use the word retarded? it’s a slur that demeans people living with special needs. It doesn’t mean stupid. It’s means slow or delayed and shouldn’t relate to how bad a pair of shoes look. Shocking fact…people living with special needs are actual human beings with feelings. They get when you are mocking them.

    • Sara says:

      It is really retarded for retards to post insults to the retarded. It really makes them appear more retarded than an actual retard, don’t ya think??

  34. Kate says:

    Um, I actually really like wedge heels and I own a couple pairs. I think they’re cute and they go well with a sundress or a t-shirt and jeans. I don’t see why everyone hates them so much. *shrugs*

  35. Darkailleam says:

    Thank you for this graph… one reason to be happy of my 3 1/2 …
    :-)

  36. kheprahotep says:

    yeah, and I bet the person who made this is 6′ 5″ and doesn’t know what it’s like for short people to be looking everyone in the chin their whole life. Or constantly hemming every pair of pants 6″ after they buy them.

    Vive le wedges. And heels. and platforms. and stilts. :p

    • penguin_man says:

      I rather see the person short then elevated…

      • Dfrtbx says:

        I totally agree. kheprahotep, stop trying to make up for what you don’t have, and accept a fact about you that (probably) won’t change.

        • Myst says:

          Well, then we’ll just cut your feet off at the ankle, won’t we? And bar you from getting prosthetics. “Stop trying to make up for the loss of your feet, Dfrtbx! Accept the fact that your feet are now gone and you are short! It won’t change!”

  37. crazycatlady says:

    Someone explain to me how a SHOE can connotate skankiness…
    It’s not like you’re revealing massive amounts of cleavage or
    showing upskirt… There are pretty shoes and there are ugly
    shoes. The end.

    P.S. Wedges are super cute.

  38. Stick says:

    Shoes? Bah! Who needs shoes! Barefoot all the way!

  39. gizmorg says:

    this whole conversation is retarded and gay

  40. riha says:

    The person who made this graph probably looks bad in these shoes and is just jealous she can’t wear them

  41. Pavlov for Love says:

    Sweet mother of God, do some of you repeaters have nothing to do but fight over who is the most prejudiced towards shoes?

  42. Adam Bomb says:

    bottom line: If you don’t like the shoes, don’t wear them. This goes for just about everything. How do someone else’s shoes affect anyone strongly enough to make them argue about it at such great length?

  43. Cherry says:

    Awh, some wedges are pretty cute. The one in the graph is kinda ugly though, maybe it’s because of the polka dots and bow thing in front xD

  44. idk im too tied to think says:

    yhea whoever made this graph looks retarded themselves you screwed up the x and y axis and its a picture of a shoe that tells me nothing, blond

  45. There is nothing that touches these for just lazing around at home. Bar sleeping I don’t take mine off now that its getting colder, they are not quite as stiff as they were when they first arrived but still extremely comfortable.

  46. uuummmm... says:

    The following is a comment to almost every comment so far… WHO CARES!? … BTW if any of my other comments were replied to with “LOL” I’ll f%$#ing sue!!!!!!
