Shoes of Colombia

  I brought these 

It all started because I had so many blisters on my feet from walking in Proflora, from the shoes I brought with me, they were not appropriate for the amount of walking I have been doing, so I set out to find the best pair of tennis that would be good with some of the clothes I have. I took a bus to Rionegro about 5 miles from San Antonio de Perrera Antioquia Rionegro, the rate about 75 cents in    

American money. I asked the bus driver to please help me as I was looking for an area where they sell shoes, in Latin Countries they have sections of all the same thing, so you hunt down what you want in

   that area. I got off of the bus in front of a plaza, and saw a beautifully dressed young lady tall,       gorgeous noticed she had cool shoes on, and said where is the area for shoes, she directed me to this   

little alley way where there was tons and tons of shoes and after that you cross a park and on the other said it continued.   

Beginning the hunt for the ones I liked and felt I could afford, with out any idea of how much the shoes cost here, I just browsed and asked if I could take photos, at first the photos were so I could  look back and see which ones I liked but then it became a game to see who had the best, and thought wow this is a good story! How many of us Woman love shoes?? I use to be a real shoe horse,it started at a young age, my mom would let me go shoppping on my own at the age of 12, sent me away to visit my sister and shop and buy as many as my money could spend.  Now I am very conservative,I live simple, very little money,  and just try to buy what I need, sadly enough it does not satisfy my 

desire to have the most beautiful and comfortable shoes. I wandered and found the crazy, and strange styles but looked all the while at what people were wearing and discovered it seem to be a trend here to wear platform tennis, actually they are very comfortable and some are really cute.  

      

       

   

  

     

   

I do like these and yes they are considered tennis here, although I did not buy these but they are!

I continued on and saw so many diffferent styles that I got confused and just thought oh well take photos then look back and remember where you saw the ones you want and buy them, the first one at the top of the page with the flowers were only 28 mil which equals to about 9 dollars. I found some where not as good as others of course but the prices were really good. I continued on my search and found a shop of just nail polish and bought two and some removed all for a  $1.00, then I found a blouse I loved for less than. $10.00, Continuing on I began to love the trend of the green army green so I went back and exchanged me polish for an army green an found many shoes in this color. 

        

      

Then I found a store that I absolutely was in love with, named COSMOS! OMG the shoe's and the bags in this la Tienda was amazing, the prices of course the most of all the stores, but I could not leave that place I was searching and looking and trying on shoes I had so much fun! I love all the shoes the bags and back packs wow! I honestly never have seen hand made shoes in the same country that were so good as these and very comfortable. I found one pair of Green Heels that I want to get as soon as I can! In person they are really beautiful the iridescent leather and the pattern on the leather the style the comfort wow!

that bag, its all leather made here in Colombia the shoes ran about 50 dollars American, the purse about $55, Gawd I. Want them all!!  I found the so many in Cosmos that I wanted! Its aweful to be addicted to shoes! But I guess I could be addicted to other worst things, the thing is how do I bring these with me on to the next adventure? Buy another suitcase! Yep!
