Jason: I think it’s about time for me to get some new shoes.
Ella: Do you need help? I am a shoe expert. I have over a hundred pairs of shoes. My favorite pair of shoes are definitely high heels. I have like 50 different pairs of high heels.
Jason: Wow. I have like one pair, so yeah, I could use some help. I get shoes like once every two years.
Ella: What? You need them for different occasions, you know? Casual, beachy, raining. I don’t understand why…one…you can’t wear one to the ball and then go to a game. I don’t understand.
Jason: Well, I don’t really go to the ball. But yeah, just, you know, brown seems to do the trick for just about everything.
Ella: Are you trying to be comfortable or stay more in a budget?
Jason: Definitely comfortable. Something trendy would be cool.
Ella: Fashion? Fashionable?
Jason: Also practical, though.
Ella: OK.
Jason: Gotta be practical, and no sandals.
Ella: Hmm. We’ll make it work. We’ll make it work.

Oh, look what we have here. A topic about shoes! Who doesn’t like shopping for shoes! I like shopping for everything I need. And as I’m kinda short I select my shoes depending on some factors like the colour and the style, would they fit the occasion they are for or not, and also according to the whole costume they would be worn with. |
, most of my shoes are of high heels
. I always seek for something hot and practical at the same time. |
