そろそろかな?

今日は暖かい。寒かった昨日とは全然違う。
今年の天気はどうしちゃったんでしょ?
そろそろ今年の夏中お世話になったサンダルともお別れかと思ったけど、
もうちょっといけそうじゃないですか?
このサンダルに靴下あわせてむりむり、まだがんばっていたのですが。
穴から冷たい空気がはいる~。
でも、なんといってもすべらないこのサンダルは本当に魅力的。
道路とかに水がまいてあったりしてもすべりにくい。
子供と手をつないでる時なんか本当に安心。
写真にうつっているのは、WaldiesとCrocsとコピー品かな?
コピーのはすべるんでけっきょく1回もはかなかった。
去年はいてたCrocsはちょっと固めのうえに私の足のサイズがちょうど
中間サイズなので好きだったけれど靴下はいてまでははかなかったなあ。
今年買ったWaldiesはやわらかめで私のサイズぴったりだったので
今年はず~っとこれでした。
実は、来年の分ももう買ってあるの。
そういえば、横浜ベイクォーターにCrocsのお店がはいってたなあ。
穴のあいてないのを買えば、もうちょっといけそうかも。

Probably, I like summer more than winter.
I feel miserable if it is freezing or raining. So, I feel strongly that I don't want to finish this summer yet. I know it doesn't help, but I'm still wearing Crocs with socks, to stop the winter coming! Actually, this year's sandals are Waldies. They are very similar to Crocs. Crocs are a harder material than Waldies, and the size is little bit big for me. My size has a better fit with Waldies, that's why this year is Waldies.
This year I saw a lot of Crocish sandals everywhere. Actually, some of them were much cheaper, so I tried buying some for my son. But that was a big mistake. The copied ones are slippy!!! But if they are going to slip, these sandals don't mean anything for me, though. One of the reasons I like these sandals is they don't slip easily. If my memory is right, I think they made these sandals first for canoes or sea kayaks. Because they have to move from water to land. See, I don't choose shoes just because of fashion. My boy never wore these cheap ones and his feet grew incredibly bigger in this summer holidays, and he completely broke the chance to ever try them again. Never mind, this always happens - so much waste - I might ask the shoe cupboard to look after them little bit longer, to make me feel better. Of course, the expensive Waldies, my son wore all through this summer!
I'm planing to go to Yokohama Bay Quarter to get another pair of Crocs for me, ones which don't have any holes on top. I think this works to keep my feet warm. Then my summer will never be finished!
