Walk in my shoes if you dare, because I don't anymore.
Some walk are meant to be shared while some don't. It is better for you to learn from the walk of others and then start walking in your own pair of shoes.
Shoes, normally a thick covering to protect your feet, are becoming more a fashion wear rather than necessity.
I can't recall my first pair of shoes, but the ones that I kept have interesting stories behind them.
Ferragamo ~
If I can recall a bit, this shoes was bought back in 2007 when I was flying for MAS. It was bought in a Ferragamo boutique in Rome, Italy.
I bought it in Rome just because the boutique replaced my ex-wife Ferragamo heels with new ones as her newly bought pair of Ferragamo heels from KLCC Malaysia broken from walking in the city.
My first learning experience of how a good brand will look after their products.
Bruno Magli ~
Made famous by O.J Simpson trial case.
I got this when I was visiting Hong Kong with my ex-girlfriend from China. I always wanted a Bruno Magli shoes because I heard it is one of the most comfortable shoes.
She bought it for me for around RM 900. Unlucky for me, the shoes are 1/2 inch smaller than what I normally wear. It is a size 7. I stop wearing it after a while as it hurts my feet.
~ KING ~
The brand is actually 'METRIX'. It was bought by my girlfriend who is currently the love of my life.. my wife Saliza.
She bought this for me when I was getting a body paint job at Sungei Wang Plaza. She bought it for RM 50 and it was the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever worn.
Sadly for me, the sole came out recently due to heavy usage!
And then there are some sports shoes which I collected and normally used during working, casual time and travels!
The Adidas Porsche Design ~
They are cool shoes which I got from Adidas stores in Kuala Lumpur back in 2007 and 2008. I did some running too in them during International Practical Shooting Competition (IPSC) practice back in 2008 until 2010.
IPSC has a Motto - Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas (DVC) meaning accuracy, power, and speed. It also sums up my feeling for the Adidas Porsche Design shoes. Can't remember the price I paid for those shoes.
Anyway, moving on to the working shoes I wore during my escort and club bouncer days, the shoes which brought me here to my second life..
The Military Boots ~
I have 2 pairs of Military Boots which I am still using from 2010 until now.
One pair is the Military Combat boots which is made by 'Kulit Kraf' and another one is a pair of Minoli boots made by 'Sepatu Timur'.
They are rough, tough, durable and look excellent with! Just that the one made by 'Sepatu Timur' have bad cracks now on the outer layer.
They too have seen some actions and survived.
The only problem with them is, they are too heavy for the work I am doing now!
So, whats next?
Heard that it is very comfortable and durable. We will give it a shot when we can afford it one day. Till then, we will just hang on to our flip flops!
P.S. All of the above shoes are up for sale, if you dare to walk in my shoes ;) - except for the 'KING' and both Military Boots!
