What the Mirror knows · mature
9 facts, each with its provenance
I know enough to personalise most shopping missions. You can change anything I have learned.
Size & fit
- US Women's 9, wide
confirmed · You told me directly, and it has held across every purchase since.
- Stiff heel counters rub
learned · You returned a pointed pump because the back of the heel rubbed raw.
Comfort
- Low heel preferred
confirmed · You told me directly. Height has never been the thing you want from a shoe.
Style
- High shine, patent finishes
confirmed · You confirmed it after I saw it in three missions running.
- Decorative detail over clean lines
learned · Across four missions you passed over the plainest option every time.
- Happy to be the most distinctive thing in the room
learned · You have chosen the boldest shortlisted option in three missions.
Avoids
- Anything that reads as safe
confirmed · You told me directly.
Budget
- $100–$175 for event shoes
learned · Four missions, all settling in that band.
Colour
- Oxblood, black, bronze
learned · What you actually keep, rather than what you look at.

Signal keys, not adjectives — the same attribute families the shortlist ranks on, so a stated preference can actually move an answer rather than describe one.
