I did have such an experience once. That was many years ago when I was completely dress up and getting ready to attend someone's wedding ceremony. I was on my way and just leave home fora few minutes. After I cross the traffic light, one of my shoes just completed broken into half and it was so embarrass for me and I look funny when I have to walk across back ton the traffic right and walk back home like a half crippled person and jump a few steps as well. I finally made it back to my home and wonder what was going on with my shoe. I manage to find another shoes to go out again . Latter on I asked those who worked in the shoes store about my situation, they said sometimes it will happen if you don't wear your shoes for over a year. Yes, I didn't wear that pair of shoes for over a year and that's the result of it. I am not sure whether it is true or not but it was really a funny and embarrassed experience for me anyway. How about you ? Have you ever experienced something like that ?Share with us ?

I was on the way to the library when one of my shoes broke. I had to walk through the train station in order to get to the library and people stared at me. I was pretty far from my home and I didn't want to go back and change shoes. I managed to walk, but I am sure it looked pretty strange, and I am not surprised that people stared at me

Yup, multiple times. Once I was walking in the city when that happened. I had to beg someone so I could borrow her shoes while I went to purchase a new one for me. I didn't blame her for not believing me at first.

Yes. During my college years because we don`t buy new shoes. It was so embarassing but that is our life. We can`t afford to buy new shoes we just have to let it repaired much cheaper

It happened to me with cheap imitation shoes that was given as gift, the pair was so good looking That's why I always buy original even if a bit expensive they last for years, they don't just suddenly break but give several warnings when it's time to buy a new one.
