Swagger Shoes

We’re over at 1099/a on 10th Cross, specifically the 5th B Main in H.B.R. Layout. It’s the 1st Stage, 2nd Block area if you’re trying to find us on a map. Our shop is a pretty basic setup. We have shelves lined with shoes from floor to ceiling. There’s that specific smell of leather and rubber that hits you as soon as you walk in. We don't have those bright neon lights or expensive carpets you see in big malls. It’s just a plain floor and some benches for people to sit on while they try things on. Sometimes we run out of a certain size and have to tell people to come back next week. We try to keep things honest like that. We aren't shoe experts with degrees; we just know what fits well and what lasts a long time. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, mostly houses around here, so we get a lot of locals coming in. We’ve been in H.B.R. Layout for quite some time now. My nephew helps out on weekends when it gets a bit busier. We spend a lot of time cleaning the glass cases and dusting the boxes. It’s not a glamorous job, but everyone needs shoes. We just stay here and do our bit. It’s a small life but it keeps us going every day. The door squeaks when you open it, but it lets us know someone is coming.
