Sandal talk

Okay, I love my sandals. These ones.


They're airy, and I can run (a bit, like chasing after the tram :P ) in them without worrying about them flying off, which is what tends to happen with slippers.

But not any more. :( One of the straps became partially severed from one side of the sole...so after some thought I hacked it off entirely. (no sense delaying the inevitable...) I was thinking of taking off the straps and transforming the sandals into slippers, but...

Still looks okay, right? :P
(the first photo was also taken after severing the strap)

The optical illusion
(The black patch is from when I first tried to scotch the strap to the sole with tape, now it's cut off but I didn't take off the tape 'cos that would leave the exposed surface sticky)

The actual mutilated sandal
(I only changed the position of my foot from the last photo)

So now should I wear it like this, or chop off the straps? But the right sandal is still fine...I don't want to hack away at it...

I guess it needs a test run. :|

(These sandals were actually "dead" very soon after I bought them, the sole came off and I had to get it repaired by a tukang kasut near INTEC...one of those we can find on the kaki lima. But that reparation was so well done (see the stitching along the edge of the sole?) that the sandals became my toughest pair yet...I thought they'd last forever but I guess it wasn't meant to be...)
