I am a shoe queen. I have more than 60 pairs of shoes and I could spend fortunes on shoes, and shoes alone. So when I started running, there could be no better reason to start collecting running shoes. As I am very particular when it comes to shoes, I already owned 4 pairs of sport shoes (normal walking), 1 pair of rock climbing shoe (used thrice thus far), 1 pair of running shoe and 1 pair of bootcamp shoe. But since I started running (I mean serious business running), how can 1 pair be enough? So I have been searching and looking – I never like Nike, I really couldn’t pick one from New Balance as none of the designs are eye appeasing, Reebok is too old fashioned, Saucony and Asics are not conveniently available in Malaysia and that leaves me with only 1 option. In a span of 1 week, I have been in and out the Addidas outlet for a dozen times but, to quote Michael Buble ‘I haven’t met you yet’. One day, I was waiting for my friends to meet me at Pavillion and I nonchalantly but naturally walked into Addidas outlet. Then the time, the light, and everything else frozen and my eyes were fixated on this pair of fiery red shoes. I prayed that it was a running shoe I saw. I quickly asked the sales person and to my delirium, it was the latest and newly launched running shoes designed for running competitions! Did I need to say more? It’s a god sent perfect match for me! Then I crossed my fingers and quickly asked the sales person whether size 4 was available (I have small feet in disproportionate to my obese body). God really did answer my prayers that day and yes I found the perfect shoe in perfect colour and perfect size! Cinderella would be so jealous of me when I run in this fiery red magical shoe.
