shoe shopping

Posted on May 25, 2008

I haven’t bought myself good shoes in a long time. Last week, I bought a pair of white jelly shoes for only 79.50 pesos at SM Hypermarket. To say that I bought it because of the price is quite right. Hehe! They feel as comfortable as Dansko shoes but barely made a dent in my budget. But for the longest time, I’ve been wanting to buy a good pair of running shoes. So when I learned of the Adidas and Nike Clearance Sale in Megamall’s Megatrade Hall this weekend, Ramil and I were more than eager to go. He was able to get himself a comfortable, blue and white running shoes for only 1695 pesos. I think the original price was around 3000 and was on sale at 40% off. He liked it so much that while having our lunch, he decided to put it on and wear it for the rest of the day. I, on the otherhand, was able to buy a nice pair of green and gray Nike Free running shoes for only 2000 pesos! The original price was around 4000 pesos and I got it at 50% off. I also bought a Nike yoga mat for only 500 pesos (50% off). I wanted to buy Mateo his first Nike shoes too. Unfortunately, nothing for him was on sale. Our purchases hurt our budget real badly and we’re going to need to forgo a lot of things in the next month so we can pay for our purchases. Nevertheless, we went home happy shoe shoppers.
