…Things about $11.95 shoes

1. If the shoe fits. I needed black, “pointy-toed” shoes for some upcoming gigs, so I did what any practically-minded performer who’s never owned black, “pointy-toed” shoes would do.  I went to the cheapest possible store that sells them.  I found a pair that fit surprisingly comfortably.  Sure, they’re 100% synthetic, but my venues are hardly the Opera House.  So these fit the bill and the feet.  Best of all, at $11.95, they fit the budget too.

2. Archie. Not surprisingly, $11.95 shoes have little in the way of arch support.

3. Exploration. $11.95 shoes may take you to strange places, just so you can sit down.  Like now, even though I have internet in plentiful supply at home, here I am at a net cafe.  Just so I can sit down.
