Entertainment Miscellaneous Favourite Shoes
Anyone who hung out for any time with me in 2003 / 2004 will recognise the shoe below. I bought them and wore them literally into the ground - there is ("is" because I kept them for sentimental reasons) little sole left and there are gaping holes. Well, as happens, I moved on and they moved on. We went our seperate ways and I now had a gaping hole in my usable shoe collection*.
So - and here's the great news - today I saw their twins in Schuh** and replaced my old ones with EXACTLY the same specification of shoe, something I should have done a long time ago. And they are giving me happiness as we speak. These shoes are far and away the comfiest shoes I have ever owned. Twice.
So, two things. First, I wish I was rich enough to buy several clones of things I like. It is rare to find perfection, you should only have to find it once. Second, there should be a unique worldwide product number or some such for every product ever made, from Cremola Foam to Koudenberg Shoes. Like an ISBN number. So you don't have to faff about with size and colour and texture and other variables. And there should be some system where you can just go to a web site which will track them down and get you new ones.
* I do not actually have a shoe "collection".
** Which until a year or two ago I thought was called sk-huh. Like sk from ask and huh from huh? Not because I'm stupid, just because I never thought about it.
