Noiz Waves

So I’m heading to Seoul in just over 2 weeks time, very excited about the trip! My friend Joe recommended I hunt down a good, comfy pair of loafers as there will be a lot of shoe removal/putting on over there. Over there, the floor is more than a place for walking, but part of the furniture; you sit down on the floor to eat. So it makes sense to take off shoes before entering a building.

Whitfords shopping centre is usually a good place for shoes, so I headed up there. Tried several shops with no luck. Some people hadn’t even heard of loafers, were out of stock, had nothing in my size, or just downright clueless. One of the shop assistants suggested looking in Cite; never heard of it before.

The guy there was very helpful, directed me to their shoe selection, and pointed out several shoes that were loafer’ish. 1 pair caught my attention immediately…

Bright, bold, patterned, casual, and with just a dash of grandpa’s slipper. And they were in my size. And on sale!! I’m not usually one to get excited about shopping/shoes/sales, but OMG it must have been a sign. Tried them on, and they were super comfy. That sealed the deal! $60 later, these beauties were mine. Even if they don’t get much action in Seoul, they will when I get home!
