Shoes…

19 Apr 2005 - Under General By Mandrake

I don’t really buy shoes, coz I seldom can find something that suits me. Or rather, if there is a nice pair, usually they don’t have my size. I have big feet and sometimes, only the ugly ones has my size. Its really hard to find a good pair that fits me so I don’t really buy shoes. This applies to all sort of shoes, dress shoes, casual shoes and even sports shoes.

I remember when I went to Shenzhen to shop, the first thing that I ask the shop owner is whether they have any of my size. If not, then I don’t bother to look at the shoes anymore. This applies here as well.

Today, I went to my friend’s dad’s shop to get a pair of dress shoes. As usual, turns out I only have very limited choices as most are around size 9 or 10. Eventually, I choose one pair which fits about just nice, but a bit tight around the width. I have big feet. I still buy it instead as it will expand. Then I saw a casual pair and bought that too. Total damage is SGD$90. Not branded, but who cares?

Lets see how many blisters I would get tomorrow when I start wearing them. I wonder how my nephew buys his shoes, last I heard, he is size 13.

Did you know that real leather shoes won’t smell?

    yeah, I don’t know how my feet get so big.. heh
    anyway, those branded ones like Hush Puppies, Bally, Kenneth Cole sold locally don’t really have my size. If they have, its not nice. sigh..
