Last week, a bowling friend told me about the bowling shoes on sale at the Riverbanks Mall in Marikina City. The brand is Swatch with a regular price of P2,350 a pair. And, the discounts range from 10 to 50%. He’s buying one; and, I requested him to buy me a pair too (my 11-year old bowling shoes were already retiring). My friend and I have the same shoe sizes - 9″. I’m not particular with the design so he could choose any design. I’m particular with the price and asked him to get the one with 50% off.
Last Sunday, he called me up informing me that the pairs with 50% discounts have no 9″ sizes, except for the one with faded colors and with spots. There’s a nice pair but with 30% discount only. He described the color and design; and, I gave him my go signal.
At the tournament site last night, he gave my new pair of bowling shoes. I suspensely opened the box; and, lo and behold, I liked the shoes very much. I immediately donned and tried them. They perfectly fit my feet. I thanked my friend, reimbursed him, and treated him for some bottles of beer. Thank you, friend!
