A Style for the Dogs...

After the weekend that has been global news, with the suicide of former president Rho Moo Hyun and North Korea not backing down with its nuclear testing (once again ignoring diplomatic efforts). I was glad to see that something that made me smile.

I am sure that this pampered pooch has a closet full of little outfits for cooler days, but it is rare to see a dog with a set of running shoes here in Daegu. Every dog should be so lucky, but I will keep it on the lighter side, since so many aren't here in Korea.

I have seen some sporty pups here in Daegu, but none that compared to this glam dog. This dog is a bit camera shy, even with the owner trying to coax her pet to 'smile for Foreign girl'.

The New Footwear Trend in South Korea

I personally think these fall into the "ugly as sin" category of footwear. These
'rocker style' (and I don't mean rock star) style shoes are more like orthapedic shoes that are designed to rock your feet while you are out and about walking...or in this case rocking.

I had to laugh because like when the "crocs" came out I could not even comprehend trying them no matter how comfortable everyone said they were. I guess I am not sensible when it comes to shoes, but who wants to be sensible if they don't look good as well? Are the MS-Zones taking off? Hmmm...it is hard to say since most of the women I saw walking around where in killer heel boots and shoes...and well, I admit, today I had my trainer's on. Damn, I guess I was being sensible after all. Perhaps I ought to try rocking around the streets of Daegu, I might like it after all, but you won't catch me trying to ride a bike with a pair of these!
