| Every time I hear that someone has hundreds or pairs of shoes, I can’t understand it. I am the complete opposite. I tend to use tennis shoes for everything and since I got an awesome pair of Clarks indoor/outdoor slippers, those two paires are all I use to go to class, work, church, grocery shopping, anything! It’s great! | Cada vez que escucho que alguien tiene cientos de pares de zapatos, no lo puedo entender. Yo soy lo completamente opuesto. tiendo a usar zapatillas para todo y desde que me regalaron pantuflas Clarks para interior y exterior, esos dos pares son todo lo que uso para ir a clases, trabajo, iglesia, de compras, todo! Es bakan! |
| I wear shoes until they are completely destroyed…I must admit that sometimes I overextend the life of the shoes WAAAAY too much – just ask Leslie. She usually lets me know when my shoes are better off in the garbage than on my feet. Lucky me, my mother-in-law is awesome and she took me to get new shoes during my lunch break yesterday. She’s one of those crazy good shoppers who knows how to save – she’s got the coupons, knows the discounts, goes to stores where she gets the frequent client treatment, saves punch cards, figures out the sales…she always gets good deals! | Uso los zapatos hasta que estan totlamente destrozados…tengo que admitir que a veces extiendo la vida del zapato DEMASIADO – preguntenle a Leslie. Ella normalmente me dice cuando mis zapatos se verian mejor en el basurero que en mis pies. Por suerte, mi suegra es genial y me llevo a comprarme zapatos durante mi hora de almuerzo ayer. Ella es muy buena para las compras y sabe como ahorrar plata – tiene cupones, sabe los descuentos, va a las tiendas que tienen sistemas de cliente frequente, guarda tarjetas, se sabe las rebajas….siempre saca buenos precios! |
| She gave me the Clarks slippers for Christmas (I mean…Santa gave them to me!). Turns out, I liked them much more than she anticipated; she envisioned me wearing them around the house, which I did, but I also wore them everywhere else that I went too. So she took me to the same store to get real shoes. To me, shoes have to be very comfortable. I would NEVER compromise comfort for style. So I was looking for a lightweight pair with a flexible sole that was easy to put on. Annie knew that Clarks would have the kind of shoes I was looking for (did I mention she is awesome and basically a pro shopper?) I found two good pairs – different styles but both really comfortable. It was hard to decide on a pair, so Annie came to the rescue and bought me both! One pair is an early birthday present (…did I mention she is awesome?). | Ella me regalo mis pantuflas Clarks para navidad (osea…el viejito me las trajo!). Y paso que me gustan mas de lo anticipado por ella; ella pensaba que las iba a usar en la casa, lo que hago, pero tambien las uso para ir a cualquier otro lugar. Asi que me llevo a la misma tienda a comprar zapatos reales. Para mi los zapatos tienen que ser muy muy comodos. Yo NUNCA sacrificaria comodidad por estilo. Asi que estaba buscando por un par flexible, liviano, y facil de poner. Annie sabia que Clarks tendria el tipo de zapatos que estaba buscando (les dije que ella es practicamente profesional de las compras?) Encontre dos pares bueno – diferentes estilos pero los dos muy comodos. Era dificil decidirme por uno, asi que Annie vino al rescate y me compro los dos! Un par es regalo de cumpleanos adelantado (…les dije que ella es genial?) |
So now I have a few pairs of shoes and I’m set for a few years! Thanks Annie!!
Ahora tengo varios pares y estoy listo por varios anos! Gracias Annie!!

Nice shoes Javi. Annie really loves for people to be well “shod.”
It was a fun and easy shopping trip. Javi chose very classic styles and I agree….the main thing is comfort! I’m glad to watch your steps. 🙂
