My sister has a pair of shoes that she loves… these brown ones. Apparently they are lovely to dance in. Though I can barely walk in anything with a heel, much less dance… even jiggle. I am more of a comfortable shoes kind of woman. (This is Daughter modelling the brown shoes. Being thirteen, Daughter longs for the day when she can wear shoes with heels.)Anyway, for my sister’s birthday I agreed to get them copied here in Bangkok. The brown ones keep breaking and being repaired (though I have since discovered that she slips them on and off without undoing them: WHAT else would you expect? I said, being the sensible sister.) My sister says that they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. She said that she would love to have them in red; bright, beautiful, hooker red.
So I got them made for her at Liu’s Bootery underneath the Asoke skytrain stop on Sukhumvit Road. And when I went to the UK recently I took the new shoes.
What do you think?

They look fantastic! Am amazed at what a great copy they made. Your sister will be delighted! :)
I love the red colour. I like it even better than the original.
I think I want to go to Liu's Bootery. I also think that when your sister puts those shoes on, if she clicks her heels three times and makes a wish, it will undoubtedly come true.
they are incredible. Me, I'm a Comfortable Shoe kind of girl....
Aw! What a kind sister you are! They're beautiful - and if she takes them off without undoing them you will have to slap her!
What a fabulous idea. Loving the colour too, gorgeous.
They are lovely - but I can't do high heels either!
Calistro, she was! She was really delighted.
Parlezvouskiwi, hello. Me too, I love the red ones... except I can't wear heels.
Queenie, I think you're right. I think that's exactly what will happen.
Flowerpot, oh me too, sadly.
Chris, I will. Can you believe it?
Debs, isn't the colour great? Officially 'hooker's red.'
Helen, yes, I'd just look at them... I couldn't wear them! *Sigh*
Ooh love these. Couldn't wear them but love them still:-)
Oh what beautiful shoes!! Yet another reason to go to Bangkok!!!
I'm not particularly into shoes, but even I can see that they are lovely. I hope she was suitably appreciative!
