After long reflection, I have decided to make a major change in my life. After more than a decade of loyalty, I am abandoning my former footwear. Yes, gentle reader, I know it comes as a shock, but at long last I have decided to forsake Bally in favor of Geox as my primary means of being shod.
I am not proud of my inconstance, but the disappointments have been grievous for lo, these last three years. The elegant shoes that felt like slipping one’s feet into warm butter are no more, shoes of a lost golden age, now replaced by lesser creations that look, but do not feel, like Bally of yore.
Still, I am not entirely treacherous, as I remain faithful to Mr. Armani as well a certain camiceria.
