In most recent years a brand of brightly-coloured, rubber shoes of a certain brand have taken the world by storm. Soon, everyone was wearing them and a number of fakes of the same brand had sprung up in our pasar malams and neighbourhood shops.
But is this footwear really that good? Cuz I bought two pairs for work, (yes i know, only one’s enough but a gal always likes some variety eh) and the first pair, a rather nice one with suelte-looking exterior and a cute band across SQUEAKED whenever and whereever I walked especially on the ED floors… and I definitely heard the radiographers sniggering whenever I so undignified-ly squeaked past! :P And and the squeaking was definitely awaking those slumbering in the obs room who would then shout out for ‘toilet’, ‘water’ or ‘when am i going up to the ward’ as I squeaked past.
So… I had to stop wearing those things… Luckily this company has got a conscience, taking the shoes back for product examination for 2 weeks and tadaaaa now I have a new pair of shoes in a thankfully different design (who squeak less).
I’m still wearing the other greyish pair that still squeaks but less noticeably, however it’s wearing off quite quickly (and it’s only 4 months into my posting) and a tad slippery on wet floors… Haiz…
The moral of the story? Change shoes.
