I think for the past 6 years plus, I have been wearing the same shoes and many people make fun of me. Especially here in India, when I am already a good foot or two taller than everyone else around. They are tall, black flipflops. The heel is probably somewhere between 3-4 inches tall and they are very comfortable. Since I always wear them, all the pants that I buy are several inches too long and so if I don't wear them then my pants drag on the floor.
In these past years, I've probably gone through 6 pairs of them at least, and yet I am hopelessly attached to them.
When we were in Manali, the only pair that I brought with me from the States broke and my heart was sad. Manali is a mountain place and somehow the strap fell off of the shoe. I had to go straight away and find something else to wear on my feet because with a broken strap, my shoe wouldn't stay on my foot. After I found some shoes, Bev and I found a shoe cobbler and he had some hope that he could repair it. First, he put some glue on the broken piece and connected it back to the shoe. After some time, he took a really long needle and sewed the two pieces together again. He fixed my shoe! So far it has been doing ok.
