Buying comfortable sport shoes for women is a real challenge here. Fortunately, two of Frank's Sudanese colleagues looked very eager and determined to support me in my sport-shoe-shop journey. After having passed by a few places where they supposed to sell
all kinds of shoes, we had to conclude that sport shoes for women was the one thing these shops didn't have. There was only one place where people said we could find what we were looking for: the store where they sell international sport brands. I had visited that specific store before a few months ago and I knew that the prices there were really above Sudanese standards. But my two 'shopping companions' didn't hesitate and couldn't wait for us to get in and try on all different shoes, colours and sizes. It became a true spectacle! They even let me run around the shop every time I tried on different shoes! Since we were the only costumers, the sales men of the store were obviously also enjoying our 'show'. After some time the ladies had decided on the shoes I should get, and to be quite honest, I couldn't even refuse if I wanted to. Because the sport shoes were so precious, I had to promise that I would wear them every day from now on. Starting now: Ready, Steady, Go!
