my new batu oai

after much consideration and holding it off, i finally bought a new pair of 'official' office shoe. the last i bought a pair of office shoes was .......maybe a good 4 years back.

for me, office shoe is any shoe that you can get away with when worn with office attire. i've been wearing boots and hiking shoes to work. but before you pengsan*, they're nice looking ones and with the dockers covering a better part of the mid cut, no one will notice it's not office shoes.

so far in my working life, this is the 2nd pair of official office shoe. the other is a wonderful Dr. Martin (which was my wedding shoe as well). if shoe company were to rely on me for their survival, they long time chap lap** already.

my other shoes are, a 8 eyelet Dr. Martin, a mid cut Timberland, a 6 eyelet Timberland hiking shoe and a pair of Hush Puppy loafers. that's it.

the Timerlands i like a lot as i use them when i go hiking and go climbing as well, basically any rough activities.

the Hush Puppy i use it when i'm in a hurry or when i don't feel like wearing socks - never without socks to work ok, so don't go pinching your nose or do some disgusting actions .

i've just worn this new shoe for 4 days and i like it very much already. the padding is excellent and i must say it looks good. i still feel i look a bit odd with this pair of shoe, it's so shiny and official looking.

yes, people who noticed have tried to step on it already. but they also know to actually step on it will mean a certain death !



* pengsan = faint
** chap lap = bankrupt
