Fall is here, and with it comes my burning desire to treat the street like a catwalk. Yes I am a man, but does it say anything about my manhood if I wish to be fashionable? I love my shoes, you see, and nothing gives me greater pleasure than to use the right pair for the right occasion. Of course, none of this would have been without coupon codes.
Which is what an online shopper should always remember to use. With my shoe shopping compulsion, I have acquired, using coupon codes, many different kinds of shoes at incredible bargains.
I have my dress shoes – for Sunday church, for walks in the park, for lunch and afternoon tea with good friends, or a quick visit to the latest installation in the town museum. From an online store called ShoeMall.com I got myself a pair of black Florsheim’s John Oxford casual dress shoes for less than 100 dollars: an obscenely good deal.
I had also bought from the Internet one pair each of sandals from The North Face and Sanuk. These are my favorite brands; they remind me of how, when I was younger, I surfed at the nearby beach every summer’s day. The shoes are so comfortable, and so soft and nice to wear, that one can actually mistake the feeling as having put on a pair of socks. I wear these shoes when walking my dog round the neighborhood and grabbing an iced coffee at the corner of our block. No need to be formal!
Of course I cannot do without my Skechers Men’s Citywalk Sweepers, purchased for only 70 dollars because of coupon codes from the Skechers store. The shoes are very functional: while they don’t look too informal because of the smooth leather upper, they’re not like formal leather shoes, in that wearing them everyday and running off to meetings in them don’t hurt my feet. The semi-rubber outsole also comes in handy when the weather is acting mischievously, for who wants to get their feet wet in the middle of an unannounced rain shower?
I’ll slip into my Timberland’s leather lace-up canvas shoes right after working hours. They are rugged, and yet has that sporty casual look which is appropriate for the kinds of places I go to during evenings: to have a drink, meet with friends, go dancing or clubbing, or maybe even sing karaoke.
Wednesday night, of course, means that I have to take from the closet my high-cut pair of Air Jordan Jaq Cross Training. I pack them inside my Nike sports bag, and then head off to the gymnasium where my company is holding a double round-robin basketball tournament. Now, I don’t exactly play like His Airness on the basketball court, but at least wearing his shoes gives me the confidence that I won’t get badly injured. And the joints not only look comfortable and light – they also look so cool, such that the heads of my co-workers/ teammates turn whenever I pass them by. Thanks to coupon codes from Finish Line, I got them for 50% off.
