I was in a mall yesterday to buy my weekly supplies. I toured the mall first for new things and for promotional sales. While I was walking, the strap of my mountaineering sandal (ye, I was using it for my daily neighborhood tour and for doing the groceries), broke.
I accidentally slipped in a wet part of the floor tiles and so I broke my right sandal straps. It was a moment of shame, people are looking at me as if I committed a deadly crime.
I had no choice but to either look for a shoes/sandals repair shop or buy a new one. But since I am nearer to a Rusty Lopez boutique than to a repair shop, I decided to just buy a new one instead of having my wrecked shoes repaired.
But going to the line of products in a Rusty Lopez store isn't easy. The store has some of teh finest designs when it comes to sandals and slip-ons. I was't looking for a closed shoes because I am a sandals fanboy. I love wearing open footwears.
Rusty Lopez sandals are good looking, strenghty and use high quality materials. However, it's also a bit pricey. And since I have no other choice but to buy a new one or head home with my wrecked sandals, I paid for it.
I bought it for about $80 (php3,199). I took half of the money from my grocery budget. I still went to do the grocery but has wasn't able to buy all the things that are in my list. Well, that's what happens when you accidentally got the need to buy a new pair of shoes.
