No easy shoe-in

Typing this blog post at a Long John Silver fast-food outlet after a long day of shopping (more like failure to shop...). I was looking for a pair of shoes for work.

It had to be

• leather (waterproof qualities)
  
• brown colour (suit my khaki and grey pants)
  
• flat outsole (easy for walking)
• slip-on loafer design (not as formal as a oxford, not as casual as a sneaker)
  
• preferably below S$100 (i'm not rich loh...)

I went to the following shops, located at various locations (plaza singapura, suntec, citylink mall, raffles city)

• everbest
• bata
• hush puppies
• aldo
  
• john little
• pedro
• beetlebug
• robinsons

And after such a long day, I ended up with no purchase, just a pair of aching feet. Maybe I'm just too picky.

I did see a nice cardigan at Fox Men, but it was selling at $49. Also spotted a sling bag (Le Coq Sportif - black PVC) at Royal Sporting House Suntec for $29.90. And anyway, that's another story...
