The Shoe Store

I recently discovered that my canvas Toms are ripping in 5 different places, which is not the ideal state for shoes that will soon be used for tourism. Having gargantuan feet, I fully expected to be a shoe pariah in Japan or any other east asian country, but not anywhere else really. So imagine my surprise after being told by a salesperson at a Kolkata Bata that the pair of kicks I had my eye on maxed out at size 7. The salesperson then proceeded to point me towards a selection of clunky men’s sneakers. I await the day I become pregnant, have my feet swell, and then have to start shopping for dress shoes at a store for drag queens.
