Even when I was younger, I have mostly stayed clear of
sneakers, preferring heels and strappy sandals when it came to footwear. In
fact, aside from the gym (or before that, PE classes) I went for years without
wearing rubber shoes. So it was with a bit of chagrin that I visited the Rouge
Shop in Trinoma to cash in the GCs that I got from Tita as an advance birthday
gift.
