Hello, @cicisaja.

Did you buy some shoes for 8 hives? That reminds me of when I purchased Converse sneakers (imitation) for a dollar. They were on sale at a store in a luxurious and busy shopping mall in my country's capital. The sales clerks laughed when they saw me walking out wearing them, white and minimalist. They lasted me six months until the fabric cracked. What more could I ask of them? Mind you, they were very comfortable. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Have a great weekend, the first of 2025.
