After His Girlfriend Got Into A Car Accident While Wearing Heels, He Got Her Sneakers And Told Her To Stop Driving In Dangerous Shoes
This 28-year-old guy has a girlfriend named Emma, who is 26. And apparently, ever since he met his girlfriend, she has always enjoyed wearing high heels.
According to him, he knows that Emma makes this fashion choice because she is a bit insecure about her height.
“But it is not really a big deal when we are together, as I am short, too,” he said.
For context, he is five foot six; meanwhile, his girlfriend is five foot two. Anyway, the only real issue he has with Emma wearing high heels is that she also likes to drive in them.
And whenever they go out together, they tend to take his girlfriend’s car. So, Emma usually drives– regardless of whether she is wearing heels or not.
Now, he claims that he repeatedly tells Emma that she shouldn’t drive in heels because it is dangerous and always encourages her to switch to flat shoes. But his girlfriend always refuses– claiming that it is a hassle to switch.
Emma also always points out how she is used to driving in heels and knows how to do it well. She also claims that it is actually easier to drive in heels as opposed to other shoes because you can maneuver between the pedals easier.
Plus, Emma even reportedly got special floormats to make sure her heels never got stuck in the grooves.
“But I think she is not being honest as I can’t possibly see how it would be easier,” he admitted.

And just last week, his concerns might have been validated. Apparently, his girlfriend got into a small car accident and rear-ended another driver.
He was not present during the accident. But, according to Emma, another car changed lanes right in front of her, and she wound up rear-ending it.
So, following the accident, he decided to buy her a pair of sneakers. Then, he left the shoes in Emma’s car and told her to use them as her driving shoes.
His girlfriend was really offended that he did that, though, and wound up calling him a complete jerk.
She also claimed that her accident had absolutely nothing to do with her shoes and told him to drop the subject.
And now, in hindsight, he is not sure if he really was in the wrong. He realizes that his girlfriend is not a bad driver.
Instead, he actually revealed that Emma drives very well and is really skilled at parking in spots that seem very tight.
So, he admits that his suggestions might have stemmed from fear more than anything else.
“It was more of a ‘just in case’ thing, as I get scared looking at those shoes.”
He also claimed not to really think the accident was her fault. Rather, he just thought that perhaps Emma might have been able to avoid the other car better if she could have stopped faster in better shoes.
Regardless, their insurance company wound up getting back to them about the accident, and Emma ended up not being at fault.
So now, he has been left wondering whether telling his girlfriend she shouldn’t drive in heels was a jerky thing to do.
Do you believe Emma’s point that driving in heels is actually easier? Regardless, if he knows his girlfriend is a good driver, should he have commented on what shoes she was wearing during the accident? Do you think he should apologize to Emma? What would you do if you were in his shoes?
