I was packing my shoes and I saw the ghastly thing that happened to my cheap pair of flats ($19 from FEP).
The thin sole wore down so much there are two holes at the ball of my feet! The white exposed parts are the footbed of the shoe I think. If I stepped into a puddle they would soak through. Not only did I wear the sole down, I broke the sole. Here’s a close-up:
See the chasm? I have no idea how I managed to wear these soles down so fast. I don’t even wear these shoes a lot. They clock at most 200-250 walking hours? Goes to show cheap stuff are never good. I will never buy another pair of shoes from FEP. To think I once thought their shoes are not too shoddy (compared to the ones at Bugis Village). I am wrong. So all be forewarned – buy cheap shoes at your own risk. Oh yes, the heel of another pair from the same shop is threatening to break off where it meets the rest of the shoes. I can’t be bothered to attempt to glue it back knowing it’ll come off again. I don’t want to have to do a Mentos moment while traipsing around downtown.
i burst my pointees on my 2nd day of work! yes, cheap shoes are unreliable!
