XBox Live Fashion Fail: Hooker Boots vs. Flippy Floppies?

Xbox Live has given our avatars shoe options! But wait, female avatars got the shaft. Trina of GamingAngels gave us a rundown of the options:

For the guys, you have:

Flip Flops, High Top Sneakers, Socks and Sandals, 70’s Leather Platforms

For the ladies, check out:

Sunny Day Sandals, White 60’s Boots

Those lace-up boots clearly fell from the dungeons of Hot-topic. But that’s another issue. Why don’t the girls get sneakers? Women wear sneakers in real life. Why give the option to the male avatars and leave the female avatars with nothing comfortable to run in?

Trina is launching a petition to send to Microsoft. I’ll update this post once I get the details.
