Asian Factor when Buying New Shoes

Buying new shoes is a big ordeal. There are many factors to take into consideration when getting new kicks, whether they be for casual, athletic or dress. It's like picking out a potential mate. First, they have to be attractive to you. Second, they have to be comfortable when you put them on and walk around. Third, they must perform well for their intended purpose (yes, this applies to your potential mate, too: fun, sex, money or marriage)

I have one more factor I have to take into consideration when buying new shoes. I call it, "the Asian Factor." The Asian Factor is the abilty for shoes to slip on and off rather fast and easily. Why? Because when you go to visit an Asian household, you have to take off your shoes. I hate being stuck at the front entranceway trying to untie my shoes. I always make sure my shoes can kick right off. That's why I don't wear my boots unless I know for sure I'm not visiting an Asian household. Plus, I like shoes that have velcro or or a quick zipper. Sandals always work, too.

You thought the Asian factor was whether or not the shoes were going to make us short Asians any taller, huh? You were wrong! We're not all short! I got your back, Yao.
