Slippers 

So many different colours, so hard to choose. I spent some time trying to find something that I liked, which existed in my size, which didn't feel like a tourniquet around my toes.

Meanwhile a French woman breezed in, picked up a pair, haggled the price right down and then bought the shoes and walked out. It was very useful as a price guide, I'd have paid much more without her.

I got the black ones with the multicoloured baubles. They match my new djellaba. :)

as a semi-related anecdote, someone in my office (New York) said that the economy is getting so bad that you can haggle on prices at the local Best Buy.
Regardless, I'd have gotten the blue pointed shoes with the pop art design.

I tried to get the brown version of them - but they were too small. Each shoe came in one or two sizes - it was actually a case of "here's a shoe that fits you" rather than choosing by design!
