I haven't noticed, til recently, just how worn my shoes have gotten. I guess I'm like my dad in that respect: I use and abuse my shoes til, well, they give out. Hehe. I'm not one of those people who buy shoes based on style either, nor on trends. I usually go shopping for shoes when I need them. And boy do I need them.
A little backgrounder on me and my experience buying shoes... well, let's just say I've always found it difficult to buy shoes. They're usually too narrow, or there's usually no available size for me. Me and my big fat feet I guess. Which makes, or at least made it hard back in the day, to buy shoes for me. However, with online shopping sites proliferating as they are of late, you'd think my "hard to find shoes for my feet" excuse a weak one at best.
Currently, I am in need of a good pair high cut shoes. If you've been reading my blog for awhile now, you might know that I've been riding a Honda Wave to and from work as of late to save on gasoline consumption and expenditure. In my mind, this signals a need for good quality caterpillar leather boots. That's one of the things I need anyway.
Then there are at least 3 weddings I know I'm going to be at in the coming months and I'm going to need dress shoes for them. I've an ok pair, I would guess, though I'm sure that if anyone took the time to closely inspect them, they would find them in need of a good shine and repair. Big heavy feet don't contribute to them lasting long.
*SIGH* I wish I had choices like these when I was younger. Even as a young boy, boy's shoes didn't really fit my feet all that well.
If and when I buy any shoes in the coming months, I'll be blogging about it. Just coz.
