We all have what I call "The Princess and the Pea Syndrome." For some people it will be clicking shoes, and for others it will be whump-whumping flip flops. (Good one Avienne, tried to rep you for that, but I must spread the love.) For me it's not being able to walk around the house barefoot--I can't stand the feel of carpeting on my feet and I have really tender feet anyway. Or maybe your friend had a really horrible teacher once who had clickety shoes. That would be my guess.
it's only annoying when a girl doesn't know how to wear heels and they make an annoying click noise... if you can't wear the heels don't buy them! it's annoying to watch--almost like a girl is trying too hard or trying to show off. nope don't like. but if a woman knows how to control the heels it doesn't bother me.
Philosophers, scientists, poets and other great thinkers have pondered the clicking shoe question for thousands of years. I realize that it's one of life's great mysteries but I'm just too shallow to even comprehend the meaning of it.
Clicky shoes I don't notice. Banging, OTOH, annoys me. I share a lab with another group and one of them tends to bang quite often. I don't know what they're doing since I'm usually not looking, but it gets on my nerves.
I have been told by (my boss) this his girlfriend hates other woman that has shoes that click on the floor. This seems like a really odd reason to get all pissed off at other woman for. I do have to add that this is just one thing of many that annoys her. I just happen to have very loud clicky shoes I am seriously wondering if this woman has a large stick that has become somehow lodged in her rather large redneck backside
You could wear slippers.
Or maybe talk your boss into carpeting the office.
Why is his girlfriend there anyway?
Sounds like she has "other" unspoken issues with you. Feeling a little threatened, perhaps. (not justified, of course, just her neurosis).
Women hate other women for everything. Women just hate other women naturally without you even needing to click your shoes. Lots of females are just catty for no reason and it's very common. I've had women hating on me just for being there and for no reason.
Well....I would just tell her to go buy herself a pair!
Me too. I love the sound. I walk through the marble lobby at work and it's the best sound ever. Women in stilettos should strut and walk talk. "Clicky shoes" are a woman's secret weapon. They are sexy and powerful.
I think she hates them because usually well dressed women with confidence wear them and she is unhappy about another aspect of her life. Women that hate on other women for no "apparent" reason (...such as a noise their shoes make) do so because they have their own insecurities.
Really you should feel sorry for her and take her shoe shopping. A nice pair of louboutins might cheer her up!

Typically the click you hear is the heel itself with the heel taps missing or worn. The more spiked the shoe the more it's due to this reason. It's bare metal touching the floor. This can be corrected with a simple trip to the shoe repair place or you will find replaceable heel taps wherever shoe laces or shoe polish is sold. I used to have mine replaced almost every 6 months.

I know what you mean when the heal has worn down and you can see the silver metal. time for a visit to the "shoe repair man". I do however have some more expensive shoes and the bottom of the heals of these are actually metal. They are supposed to make that sound. It's what you pay for.
Thinking about it if she can hear them coming before they even get there. She should leave the room - away from the "clicky shoe women - Problem solved! She has a warning to scarper. I wish there was a warning for people with ugly shoes! No such luck.

I used to be a guest speaker at a lot of schools and there was nothing worse than leaving and having to walk down those empty hallways, which were like an echo chamber, by myself - how could you not hear it or hear me coming.
I believe if they were made to sound like that then they were made by men so they can always tell when you're coming
