Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
I barely get a pair of new shoes since my parents could not afford nor that they’re willing to buy me things to wear. From school uniforms to jeans and shirts when I was in college, they’re all but worn and old torn jeans from my siblings.
I was in 3rd year High School when I was given a chance to buy my own pair of school shoes, a new academic year opened and I was glad my parents finally offered me the chance and the style that I want.
That pair of shoe was the last pair my parents bought for me, and that pair of shoe lasted for 3 years. I wore it everyday for hours, it was ruined and the sole has been torn and removed but I have yet to buy a new pair that I have to keep wearing it while waiting for a chance that I can buy my self a new pair.
The first pair I bough with my own money was a blue sneakers, cheap of course just enough to last for a year and since then I started going to school with my OJT shoes and slippers so it don’t get damaged.
My love for shoes started that time when my parents refused to buy me a new pair saying they used the money for my uncle’s medication. That when I finally got a new pair, I was happy that I really took good care of it for having a new pair is uncertain.
The first thing I bought when I got my first paycheck, a pair of blue shoes. Sneakers. And up until now, I couldn’t let go any of my old shoes due to that experience which had lead me to becomng obsessed with shoes.
