Shoesters

Just minutes from the start of a wedding and mi Madre is asking me to find a shoe store. In the rush of getting out here she had forgotten her shoes!
The one I located originally is off the main street so this became the option. Most shoes are not priced and I did not know that these styles of Birkenstocks were so friggin’ expensive but we were on the way to a wedding and there wasn’t any time for thrifty. I know I’ve seen Birkenstocks for less, but did not find any here. There are regular priced shoes on display and a few pairs on special which sit below on the ground. Some of the sale priced shoes had pricing and many were over $ 140 dollars. No one mentioned pricing till check out. With eyebrows raised high I put forth payment. (As a man I equate expensive shoes to the attractive kind. Not shoes with cork as its bottom but Ma is saying, «these are supportive & comfortable.» For now anyway. Still, had we known it’s pricing I would’ve told her to get something a bit more fashionable rather than matching one outfit.)
Store clerks were more than accommodating, offering both an entrance and exit greet. In and out in under fifteen minutes. They offered the following: «People forget their shoes more often than you think»
