For some godforsaken reason, BATA hasn’t received its usual supply of POWER shoes from its ‘warehouse’, the reason it seemed as though POWER had gone off the market for good.
Even then, they were nice enough to save one last pair of gaudy brown shoes and I gratefully bought them. Only Rs. 300 changed hands, half the price of the previous ones. So the new ones aren’t much to look, they fit funny and size 10 just manages to keep all my toes in. The colour isn’t exactly inspiring but blends well the post-rain litter on the streets. The sole is jazzed up with funny white protrusions that are supposed to fulfil some kind of acupuncture treatment on the go. On the whole, it’s a great bargain, an okay fit, not at all inconspicuous (in fact, if the folds of my pants didn’t cover them, I’d look more mismatched than crusty the clown), but the important thing is that I did find the shoes and the Partnership is alive and should regain its former glory when the warehouse decides to deliver their consignment after we’re finished with the rains.
Here are a couple of photos of my latest acquistion for your viewing pleasure only. Make what you will of them, the comment boxes need filling anyway.
