my first sneakers/shoes/footwear purchase of the year
after being totally “detoxified” from the addiction
and it’s actually for my dad
have been looking for almost a month
at least few weeks in a row
have been to all-in-one sports outlets,
departmental stores, shoes stores etc
never seem to find the right pair
which matches the criteria as listed by dad:
-
slip-on
-
non fanciful colour
-
non white sole
-
soft texture (yumms?)
and a few pairs which were almost matching
found at 3 different stores
were out of size
I guess his shoes size is pretty small for a guy
finally decided to try Sketches SKECHERS
where I dropped by last week and
identified a few pair which kinda meet the criteria
so a week later
here I was, dragging my dad into Sketches SKECHERS
with high hope
yeah he likes those shoes
yet out of size, again??
thank goodness my fellow shopper
reminded me that there’s
another Sketches SKECHERS outlet
at another mall nearer to my place
why don’t we give it a try
although we may end up being disappointed
because I really got no idea
where else should I bring my dad to
so we ended up in another
Sketches SKECHERS store
which is nearer and
found the same pair of shoes
with the right size available
I just realized that
I have been spelling SKECHERS as SKETCHES
does it mean that I have always been
pronouncing wrongly as well?!!!
by the way, this is the once we got
which matches the criteria of
-
slip-on
-
non fanciful colour
-
non white sole
-
soft texture (yumms?)
on top of that there are.. according to them
-
high REBOUND energy in EVERY step
-
MEMORY FOAM for unrivaled comfort
-
lightweight and breathable FITKNIT
lightweight is undeniably my top priority
(with the exception of Vans)
you can always see me
with this ridiculously act of
throwing the shoes on display
from one hand to another
or just trying to throw and catch it
as if I am juggling a ball
which is a sign of approval
in terms of the lightweight-ness of the shoes
and I would say that many SKECHERS shoes
have past my “juggling” test
one extra feature I found is
that although-initially-looks-funny-to-me hole
at the heel
alright I guess it serves the function of
preventing heel blisters which
bug me all the time
just to clarify that doesn’t mean
I am tempted to get the shoes
basically we spend at least twice a week
in the vicinity of this mall
during our evening walk
but have never thought of
dropping by this particular store
went round and round different places
even to somewhere further and
finally ended up here and found what we want
that’s how life is, I guess
the next pair is coming really soon
as I paid with a certain bank card
which I actually has never used and
intended to get rid of real soon
it actually came with extra reward of
50 MYR voucher with purchase above 300 MYR
exclusively for purchase which is paid
with cards from this particular bank
I haven’t used this card since it was collected
not even randomly trying it out or activating it
thank goodness it didn’t embarrass me and
I may reconsider
(has already decided, actually) to
keep it, after all
and guess what
just realized that
31-May-2015 was actually the last day
for this promotion campaign
oops I had accidentally shared this out
and my besties said she intended to go
my bad…
or perhaps she should be thanking me
p.s
I have not owned any pair of Sketches SKECHERS
and didn’t expect I would
and the very first pair at home
actually goes to my dad
the next pair is coming real soon
as I have to spend the 50 MYR voucher anyway
should goes to another pair of
Go Walk 3 for my mom
awww..
I can’t wait to see the sight of
couple shoes for my mom and dad
happiness is
shopping… for my family
and we are so ready for
our outing next week
I mean this weekend,
to Mount Emei
