| Mom: | Hi! I am looking for a pair of shoes for my son. |
| |
| Salesgirl: | Sure thing! Here we are! If you're looking for dress shoes, we have several different styles of Oxfords for boys. We also carry athletic shoes, hiking boots. |
| |
| Mom: | Oh Jacob, how about these sneakers? |
| |
| Jacob: | Mom? They've got Velcro. |
| |
| Mom: | Well, then how about these? What is this style called? |
| |
| Salesgirl: | They're tennis shoes. They're very popular with teens and young adults. |
| |
| Jacob: | Oooo, Mom, can I get these? |
| |
| Mom: | What are those? |
| |
| Jacob: | They're Chuck Taylor's! Everyone has them! Can I, please? |
| |
| Mom: | I don't know. Would they go with your clothes? The backs are really high. and the way the tongue just sticks up. They're almost like a boot. And the sole doesn't look like it would have a very good grip. |
| |
| Jacob: | They're only forty-five dollars! And they've got cool fluorescent orange shoelaces! Mom? |
| |
| Mom: | Ok, try them on. |
| |
| Salesgirl: | What size are your feet? |
| |
| Mom: | He is a size nine. |
| |
| Salesgirl: | We'll try a size forty-three on you first and see how that fits. |
| |
| Mom: | A what? |
| |
| Salesgirl: | They come in European sizes. He should be a size forty-three. I'll be right back. |
