Ahoy, shoes!

Shopping for shoes? Don't mind if they're imitations? Well, come on down to Greenhills where you can go drown yourself in flattering apparel, bags, jewelry, toys, phones, and of course, shoes.
That's it- enter the corridor right under the stairs that take you up to Music Museum and you'll see the plethora of footwear that just didn't make the cut with shoe-specialty shops and higher-end (department) stores. These shoes are very, very, very , very affordable, sometimes, just a tenth of the original's retail price. If that isn't a bargain, I don't know what is. However, be careful because even though most of the time people won't be able to tell if you're wearing an imitation or not (and why should they care anyway!), you'll feel the difference in terms of craftsmanship and quality. But if you're just looking for foot ware to use for driving or for everyday walking, getting something less expensive and does the same thing to your feet- protect it from the elements and be a little fashionable while doing so- may be easily justified.Prices (for men's walking/rubber shoes) range from around PHP550 and if you don't show much interest, you could get the price down to PHP480 . That's the pinoy way of making-tawad (haggling). Good luck! Still too expensive for you? Try the ukay-ukay stores that are sprouting across the metro. You might find a good deal there too. But that's another adventure altogether.
