Shoe Shopping
The way I figure it, a shoe on the feet is worth three in the shop.
So here’s three shoe-related things I’ve seen for sale recently.
A t-shirt with high-heels on it.
I’m not sure whose job it is to sew the sequins and flowery bits on the shirt like that, but I bet they hate rich people.
Shoe vase- ideal for putting flowers in.
Well not ideal, as the hole is very narrow and the thing would topple over every few minutes. But, you know, semi-useful.
I call this one “Spring Fever”- do you get it?
These things are supposed to give you a work out whilst you wear them. Presumably most of the work is running away from the angry villagers who are trying to burn you as a Warlock.
Ugly as hell, and expensive at over 2,000RMB (from the top floor of Gubei Carrefour).
The question, sir, is what manner of flip flops are you wearing in photo #2?
Me? I’m a reef man, myself.
I leased them from Gap.
No point buying shoes you only wear for a few months per year.
Those springy shoes look awesome. How can that not catch on? We’ve had LA Gear with the flashing lights. Puma disc with it’s ridiculously flimsy tightening system. And now, “to put a spring in your step” (I’m amazed you hadn’t said this already Swiss, these beauties. 2000RMB, how much is that? A bargain, that’s how much!
All your pics have gone innit, damn GFWOC!
Scarletti- 2000RMB is about 200GBP you know. But if you’re keen, I can place an order for you.
Dingle- yes we’re getting very close to that anniversary now- flickr gone, twitter gone, etc.
If you look at the full post though, the photos should be at the bottom- I upload in two places you see, forward thinking.
Oh oh, I bet you would love to have one of these at work to do your expenses! Too bad there is no Grand & Toy or Staples in China yet!

Well, no Staples in China . . . except for the 28 stores in 4 cities (and 2 furniture stores and 2 co-branded UPS/Staples stores). But aside from those . .. no Staples in China.
200 GBP for spring shoes?
Thanks, but no thanks :)
They do look awesome, but I doubt that their quality and durability (and maybe even effectiveness) is worth 200gbp.
Cheers,

“Spring Fever” is awesome! I live to shop for shoes, especially when I can find a great deal on them! I
