I took my new Julius Marlows out the other day for lunch.
No, wait.
That sounds like a weird lunch, even for me.
Let me rephrase that.
I went out to lunch with a friend, and wore the new Julius Marlow shoes.
Now, last time I spoke about these, I mentioned my displeasure at the blue synthetic sole attracting a lot of dirt.
It turns out that’s the least of my worries with these things, especially if it’s been raining.
That same blue synthetic sole that attracts dirt, also gets slippery in the wet.
How slippery?
Have you ever tried to imitate a breakdancer with cerebral palsy wearing roller skates?
Okay, neither have I, because there’s some things you just don’t do, but I’m sure that’s what walking on a wet pavement in these would be like.
I couldn’t walk ten paces without one of my feet deciding to take a detour, without asking permission to do so.
I swear, my friend had to actually hold me by the arm as I attempted to navigate my way to the outdoor table while I entertained the other diners with my interpretive Torvill & Dean entrance.
I got up from the table, and promptly sat down again as one of my feet decided it wanted to perform an impromptu can-can and nearly kicked me in the forehead in the process.
So with the dirt attraction issue, and now the wet weather issue, these things are going to have a short shelf life in the Shoeplex.
