Shoe Stories

Haloooo!



The summer sales started yesterday and since I´ve been looking for a pair of black shoes/wedges for like a long time now, I went shoe shopping. The problem is I´ve got very small feet and so I don´t have a lot of choices with the style, but I´ve found one that I really like( it´s not that photogenic though,hehe!) and I´m happy with it. ;)

Now for my shoe shopping anecdotes:

I was wondering why this local shoe store near my neighborhood doesn´t have a lot of costumers despite having lots of pretty shoes to sell. Little did I know that the problem lies within the owners/ shoe salesman itself. You see, as I was browing through boxes to find a specific size for a pair of cute wedges/clogs, this guy suddenly shouted at me and told me that I can´t touch the shoes. If I wanted something I´d have to ask it from him. At that time he´s still busy with another customer and he´s the only person around to assist me.Whaaat!?! I reasoned out that I was only trying to check the shoe boxes to see if my size is still available. Again, he insisted that I shouldn´t touch anything. What a turn off! He lost another customer that day.

Then there´s this other shoe store which gives you a pair of plastic socks to put on( for hygienic reasons) while fitting the shoes. I don´t mind putting the socks on but the problem is the socks are opaque and so when I´m fitting some sandals, I couldn´t see my toes! How can anyone appreciate a fab pair of sandals without seeing her toes peeking out from it?


Anyhoos, I went back to my favorite shoe store just around the corner of my street. There the married couple who owns the store are lovely to talk to and sweet ( I know it´s part of the sales talk but it brings in a lot of customers, no? ;) ) and saw these light and strappy wedges. It´s not a perfect choice but this pair fits my feet perfectly. And yep, unknowingly I´ve just bought another pair with buttons. hahaha!

So how about you? Any shoe stories to tell? You can rant or rave here. ;)

Hello Ate!
My gawd, I almost missed this post ha
at muntik na naman ako hindi makapag comment, huh!

Holy cow! Grabe naman ung 1st store na pinuntahan mo. Eewwww, BAD Customer Service ever! Kaya naman pala eh nilalangaw na ang store nya. SO far so good, wala pa naman akong na-encounter na ganun ka-rude na staff dito. Mukha naman mababait mga store sales associates dito.

Anyway, gusto ko ung wedges mo! I love wedges, so sexy and feminine :-)
