Mom:
|
Hi! I am looking for a pair of shoes for my son.
|
|
|
|
|
Salesgirl:
|
Sure thing! Here we are! If you're looking for dress shoes, we have several different styles of Oxfords for boys. We also carry athletic shoes, hiking boots.
|
|

|
|
Mom:
|
Oh Jacob, how about these sneakers?
|
|
|
|
|
Jacob:
|
Mom? They've got Velcro.
|
|
|
|
|
Mom:
|
Well, then how about these? What is this style called?
|
|
|
|
|
Salesgirl:
|
They're tennis shoes. They're very popular with teens and young adults.
|
|
|
|
|
Jacob:
|
Oooo, Mom, can I get these?
|
|
|
|
|
Mom:
|
What are those?
|
|
|
|
|
Jacob:
|
They're Chuck Taylor's! Everyone has them! Can I, please?
|
|
|
|
|
Mom:
|
I don't know. Would they go with your clothes? The backs are really high. and the way the tongue just sticks up. They're almost like a boot. And the sole doesn't look like it would have a very good grip.
|
|
|
|
|
Jacob:
|
They're only forty-five dollars! And they've got cool fluorescent orange shoelaces! Mom?
|
|
|
|
|
Mom:
|
Ok, try them on.
|
|
|
|
|
Salesgirl:
|
What size are your feet?
|
|
|
|
|
Mom:
|
He is a size nine.
|
|
|
|
|
Salesgirl:
|
We'll try a size forty-three on you first and see how that fits.
|
|
|
|
|
Mom:
|
A what?
|
|
|
|
|
Salesgirl:
|
They come in European sizes. He should be a size forty-three. I'll be right back.
