The Sole Problem

20/12/2008

After having the pleasure of the soggy sensation where my feet soaked up my socks which soaked up my shoes which in turn soaked up the rain and wet footpath (on closer inspection there was a 2mm crack), a new pair of shoes seemed like a good idea. The old pair had thin soles and had its inner reattached by superglue several times. While the new pair costs over double the old pair, it's pretty well-made...
+plush/squishier interior and sole
+slightly higher clearance
+laces not too long

-higher cost
-somewhat dorky colours
-correct physical size but misleading size labelling
-required effort to purchase them
-laces not of substance; feels flimsy
-some heel/back of foot chafing (could just be the way I walk or my socks)

Recommended (maybe not at original price though).

Hmm not a bad idea from the government this time about Christmas Eve free public transport. It might even get some more of those $1k handouts spent.
