Shoe shopping in Mumbai

In east Asia bargain hunting is an art form. Brand products in a place like India are plentiful but expensive. Generic products which incidently have nearly the same shelf life as brand products are significantly cheaper. So yesterday I bought myself a pair of generic brand sneakers for a total of RS 600 or equivalent in USD $11.45. It was a good bargain and these shoes will serve me well now and in the future. I still have to find a cobbler to fix my walking shoes so that I can have the appropriate footwear for the purposes of work. Good times and clean living are ahead for me.
