Recently, I needed a new pair of sneakers. I went to the mall to buy new sneakers. Most people in the world love to wear sneakers. However, shopping for sneakers changed my perspective on the process. How do people buy sneakers? To me, it is not easy as you think it is.

While I was shopping for sneakers, there were some things that I had to keep in mind. I was shocked by the price of the sneakers. The branded ones like Adidas and Nike were too expensive. They cost $59.99, $69.99, and higher than that! Those costs are about someone's work salary! When I saw those prices, I knew that I had to go to a different store.

One thing I hate about sneakers: shoelaces. Oh, great! I do not like to spend time with my shoelaces. I had to tie them into a knot. This with this and that with that! Then, I notice that the pointy things are still touching the dirty floor! Ai-yah! I do not want those pointy things on the floor. Imagine the bathroom floor! Now, those pointy things will be dirty! This is why I like shoes with no shoe-laces. The ones that you just put your feet into are the best ones for me.

As I was trying on the sneakers, I had to make sure that I like the design. There were some designs I like and other designs that I do not like. Sneakers are made differently for one's own taste. I had to make sure that the sneakers could fit me. If they did not fit me, then they would be a total no-no. I knew that comfort was a big component in trying out sneakers. Some sneakers bothered me. I did not want them to touch me and bother my bones. Sneakers should not be too loose. Being loose would be a problem, too. The only thought in my mind when I was trying out sneakers was, "I better find a pair of sneakers very soon. Just today. Not tomorrow. Not any other day."

Finally, I found the right sneakers. The only problem was that the box said that the sneakers cost $60 while the price tag said $39.99. Uh-oh. If it was $60, then I had to reject the sneakers. If it was $39.99, then I would buy the sneakers. When I asked the clerk at the cashier machine, she said that the sneakers were $39.99. Thank you! I was able to buy the sneakers! Hopefully, I do not have to buy new sneakers within the next few years.
