Well, after having a good laugh at H’s slipper shoes before Christmas it’s time to have a laugh look at my new shoes.
When I was back at H’s at the weekend I just couldn’t get warm, my feet, decked in trendy Adidas, were especially cold, I felt like my little piggys were going to drop off! In the end I relented and popped out for a walk to buy some ‘local shoes’.
And here’s what I ended up with (I paid about 10 kuai by the way!):
They’re a splendid black colour with a tan loose check pattern and navy beading, rather splendid what? I’ll tell you what, they were double toasty too! Not the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn, and I doubt they’re up to much serious off-road work but nevertheless they’re fine and dandy for the gentleman about town (such as myself).
Here’s the entire outfit I chose to go with my new shoes:

Shoe Tuesday is back? Oh,my bad, it was Swiss james… He would love those classy shoes I guess.
God yeah Thomas, Swiss James would have been all over these shoes. Actually, i heard on good account that he wears a very similar pair of shoes to work every day in the UK now.
toasty?
DOUBLE toasty Angie
Love the shoes! Very nice, you just need a pair of brightly colored contrasting padded pj’s and you will pass no one will ever know you are not really Chinese.
WoAi fools them every time!
Hey speaking of SJ and his weird obsession with shoes, any chance you and WoAi are going to resurrect the Podcasts in 2010?
KimC, we’ve got every intention of carrying on, but the pair of us have been really busy since Christmas, I’ve only seen Woai a couple of times.
From next weekend I’m away for 3 weeks so it’s not going to happen soon unfortunately!
