    Saan pa ba may Birkies ngayon? I wore socks over them kasi matigas yung rubber sa paa. One thing I dont like is when the strap glue gives way, start of the end na yun.
    Jai alai is the most popular among Basques kasi and it is a pelota sport. Where did you play?

    There are birks sold everywhere. I never wore socks over sandals. We were taught in school not to do that aside from the fact that I really prefer my feet bare on sandals

    Sa Bacolod pa, long time ago. Pelota was actually incorporated in our HS Physical Education back then. Some well-to-do families even had pelota courts right beside their swimming pools, it was that popular in our province. I was quite surprised on the fact that outside of Negros, very few people know what pelota (racquetball) is.

    Exactly what i begged my better half to do. It was getting to my nerves that we have to shop for new flats every few months. i don't mind paying more for a good shoe which will last long.
