Even My Shoes Don’t Have a Clue
Shopping online
This is a simple story of buying sneakers. Amazing, how simple isn’t simple, especially online. I walk my beloved dog Stormy early. He used to wake me, but now I wake him. Regardless I am throwing on clothes very very early.
I have learned the grass on the walk I use, is always wet. Wet from the sprinklers or rain. We use several different routes, none dry. This required my sneakers, to be sprayed to waterproof them. These particular sneakers are low and slim and have slippery shoe laces. I tie and retie them. I double-knot them, then the shoe becomes too loose. Holding the dog leach, a plastic bag, a treat, and a flashlight and trying to retie shoes, is not a pretty sight. If I lose my balance I am really in trouble.
Genius that I am I decided to take the advice of the commercials on television. What I need are slip-on sneakers. It is a name brand, and I remember there exists an outlet a few towns from my house.
I am going to investigate this on Amazon. They have so many choices that fit my description I feel overwhelmed. I settle on a sneaker that is water resistant, rubber-soled, made for women, and slip on. They are black, and here is the best part they are $45.00, and I have free shipping.
