ECCO

ECCO is different

(Int: living room, glasses of wine on the table)
She: OMG! Look at that! We have the same feet!
Me: Wow! I have never noticed that! LOL!
She: LOL!
Me: We’ve known each other for, eh..
She: Four years! Look at that, they are the same shape. Foot twins!
Me: Long and gnarly... I hate buying shoes. One size past where most lines stop…
She: I have some shoes you must try on…
Me: OMG! You MUST try these on! (Scuffles to the bedroom to get a box of cute, heeled shoes)
Me: When I was little my mum would only get me foot formed shoes…
She: Nooo! Me: …from ECCO.
She: OMG NOOO!!!
Me: Yeah… but ECCO is different, they got really cool designs now! And they are still comfy! Last time I went home to The Old Country, I saw these amazing ECCO boxer shoes in red, with black rubber flames coming up from the soles.
She: Did you buy those? I don’t remember seeing them.
Me: Nah, they were out of my size. End of season.
She: Typical.
Me: Yeah…
She: But I guess you could order shoes from them, they must have a website? And then you could grab them at the beginning of the season?
Me: Yeah! And I’d know the cool looking ones would always fit!
She: Yeah!
Me: So what were those shoes you were on about?
She: Oh! Stilettos!
Me: Ooooh!
She: They don’t have those at ECCO.
Me: No… They would have been comfy ‘tho.
She: Yeah… (Etc etc, fade out.)
The End
