I was at the outlest mall, holding handbags for my wife and daughter. I'd done my dash and was camped at the foodcourt outside a store they were lost in.

I'm watching people pass by when I see the funniest thing I've seen in a very very long time.

This raisin of a dude. Vietnamese possibly. About a million years old. Frail little guy, also suckered into going to the mall with his family. He's well dressed in baggy dress pants, cream coloured collared shirt. A bit grubby but the guy still had some old world class about him. As he walked by, I couldn't help but notice that he was taking really small steps and seeming to have trouble walking.

I looked down at his feet and nearly swallowed my own tongue I laughed so hard.

He was in some top of the range, all silver, Pearl Izumi cycle shoes. No cleats, and as he was with his family, I'm pretty sure he didn't ride to the mall! This old geezer decided that silver cycle shoes with carbon sole, was just what he needed finish off his shopping attire. The curved shoe bottom, no cleats and shiny floor of the mall, made walking just this side of impossible.

Far out it was funny! WTF went through his mind when his wife said they were going shopping? "I'll be right there honey, I just have to comb my hair and put on some shoes"


Where is the strangest place you've seen bike shoes?
