mis zapatos nuevos

El fin de semana pasado yo compre zapatos nuevos. Necesite los nuevos mucho. Pero el tiempo pasado no satisfice con los zapatos a Kohl's o Sportmart o una otra tienda. Entonces, mi mama me dijo que debo a ir la tienda, New Balance. Yo fui, pero los zapatos tan expensivos pero compre y tenia este zapatos por mas que un ano. Pero ahora los no funcianada, entonces yo fui a a la tienda otra vez. A New Balance, no hay muchos zapatas tenis. Trate mucho parajes y decidi en un paraje para mujeres viejas. Cuando yo lleve los zapatas para la primera vez hoy, me senti un poco foolish.



So I bought a new pair of shoes this past weekend. I'm been disappointed with the previous pairs bought at Kohls or some other store and my mom suggested New Balance. The shoes are good, but they're expensive. Over a year ago a put out the dough for some good shoes and they've lasted all this time. When working at World Market I would wear them everytime and they worked well on the concrete floors. Well, I decided to go back this weekend for another pair. At New Balance, there is not a lot of selection and I tried on several pairs, looking for some that are somewhat stylish, but highly comfortable as well.

I was at the store at closing time and finally decided to make a decision, because I did not want to be 'that person' who stays late and make the poor employees have to wait to go home on a Saturday evening. (I've been on that side of the counter plenty.) The best shoe I tried on looks straight out of pair that you would envision elderly women wearing. All white, thick soled shoes are what I put on today to take a walk. I felt a little foolish because I felt like I was saying to the world, "LOOK AT ME, I BOUGHT NEW SHOES!" And while they don't have fancy colors and aren't stylish in the least, they are comfortable. Perhaps I will start a trend of wearing comfort over style. (Yes, I know comfort can also be stylish, but since I'm cheap, I want shoes that will be comfortable for at least another year.) And just so you can see my shoes, I've included a photo for you. I know, I know, I might as well put 'SAS' on the side and get myself a pair of gray polyester, elastic-waist pants and a nice 'blouse' to go with them. Take care, friends!
