chinese crap

I never pay more than $30 for a pair of casual shoes and I usually buy them for work anyway. I saw a bargain in shoes on the stand ’buy one pair get a second pair free’ WOW! Can’t go wrong. So I bought 2 pair at $29:95, one pair black, one pair brown. I didn’t need to wear them straight away so I put them in the wardrobe till my old pair wore out. 2 Months later, I pulled them out and discovered the ‘color’ was cheap dipped resin type plastic and was peeling off in chunks. I was going to throw them out when, on closer examination, I discovered the shoe was actually made of pure Suede
Apparently, our cheap Chinese shoe manufacturer thought it was cheaper still to plastic dip the shoes for color rather than dye the ‘leather’. After scraping off all the plastic color, I now have a very expensive pair of Grey Suede shoes. What morons. Not bad for 30 bucks – 2 pair of pure Suede shoes even if they are Grey.
