I make no attempt at all to fit in appearance wise when I go to ukraine, it would be futile anyway as I'm far too handsome and stylish to pass as a ukraine man :-)
hey Jet...was in shoe store yesterday looking at shoes...saw those pointed ones.....hope you bought the medium length ones....those long pointed ones look like ones bozo wears. :)) still debating.....
I got some wicked pointy shoes in Istanbul. The shoe shops there were fantastic, and cheap. These are even pointier than those worn in Russia and Kiev, and they curl up at the ends. Very smart too. They would sure do some damage if you kicked someone in the balls with them!
my friend dylan (welsh and married to a girl from moscow) has a wicked pair of pointie shoes! no way i would wear them though! lol! i prefer my dr martin boots! /pete
