During one of my first trips to Ross (“Winners on Steroids”, for Canadians) in 2008, I bought my first pair of Pumas. They were so different from the little suede lace-up ones you see on many a girl prancing around Vancouver in her Lululemon pants. They were just $27.99, a fraction of the cost in store or online. By shear coincidence, my friend Kitty also had a pair.
From then on, I always kept a vigilant eye while browsing the shoe aisle of Ross but no further luck until this year. My Pumas are so worn, losing sole, and very discoloured compared to Kitty’s when she wears hers alongside mine. In fact, my Pumas even went to China last year! NPY told me that people kept looking at my shoes because, we gathered, it’s not so common for women to wear shoes like that–they’re used to seeing women wearing heels or really boring black leather shoes.
During a recent trip to the States and Ross, I saw this pair of chrome-coloured sequined Kathy van Zeeland shoes! I’ve wanted to give the Converse-style a try a long time, especially after reading somewhere they make your feet look smaller! These KvZ shoes were just $20. Score!
