My Forest Shoes

Its been almost 3 weeks since I last posted an entry, so inefficient that  there was not even one entry for the first half of April. Will try to be more consistent in blogging.

As any girls/ladies/woman/aunties in any age, beautiful shoes are desired and often a thing status to show that she have great taste, a style whether choosing the type of shoes to wear and also, status. Especially the type of shoes wear to work. Generally working class ladies wear heels, flats, sneakers, running shoes, sandals, and probably fashionable boots to work as their work space permit them to do so. 

For the past 2 years, that is not for the type of shoes I can wear to work, especially in the tropical rain forest. There are indeed many types of rubber wear shoes design for forest hiking and trekking, probably very good for leisure or weekend trips to the hill. Or in the temperate forest (West Countries), a good Timber brand shoes is prefer as it looks much tough and rugged, very reliable as the base is rubber made, however, easily to be slipped off or being dunk into the muddiness of the soil in the tropical rain forest. 

Hence, most of the workers in the tropical rain forest normally wear either the look-a-like Phua Chu Kang yellow boots ...

haha, or something like this:

This rubber shoes was name "adidas kampung". The reason was because of the strips on it is similar to the Adidas strips. "Kampung" means village. It comes in either black or white. And, this was what I encountered last in my recent trip.

But I am not the only one..

And to that reason, it has that inspired me to write a post about it was my feminine instinct felt pity on me for most of my peers are wearing beautiful or at least normal looking shoes every day to work, whilst I wear a rubber shoes or probably the cheapest working shoes  (cost not more than USD 2.50 per pair) to work. And probably, the most durable, reusable and sensible shoes to wear into the forest every week. The reason : easy to wear, easy to wash, the shoe base is design to walk on the mud steadier, enable a person to balance on the slippery fallen tree and canopies to cross from one end to another, and it is darn cheap! However, you can't find this foot wear anywhere else except Sabah! 

Not trying to complain, but wishing back for the time wear I can wear shoes like this to work too! :)
