Golas

Sniff, Sniff... I miss my Golas.
Am I really that materialistic... well, yes. You don't know me if you ask that question. I had a really cool pair of red shoes that were perfect for me. They had great all-around grip to them, good arches, and were no laces, just velcro. That and they were really cool looking. I've not seen anything like them on anyone else.
I don't think I'd ever have gotten rid of them, they were so comfy, except that Tira ate the velcro a long time ago. I got so upset I actually searched for another pair like them (UK size 5) and it's mission:impossible. Where oh where did those little shoes go? After a no go on finding them, I just stuck it out. I got a safety pin and just attached the half eaten piece a bit firmer to the normal side. It worked for a while, but it was harder to work lately. So, I finally got on the bandwagon with Chris and gave away butt loads of stuff to Goodwill... and sad to say, the Gola's went away.
Now, Gola's aren't easily available in the US, and I was in London when I found them, and they were so hard to find when I actually decided on them. As far as feelings for material items go: I love my red Golas. I like them so much I've bought other styles (the red ones are the System style). I enjoy them and they are really good shoes, but they are not my signature shoes like the Systems.

This is very true. I feel sad that I lost such a bad-ass pair of shoes. Almost like loosing a bit of my personality and myself. If you can find it, get 'em for me, and I will pay you back. I don't care if I end up with fifty pairs. I will wear them for the rest of my life! Help me on this search, please?
