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. ;)
