Shoes again!
A sweet young lady posted me this question, "Do you know how to prevent blisters from new shoes?"
I told her to bite it! Oh yes, I mean to actually sink your teeth into it. Try not to leave teeth marks though; such a pity to spoil a nice, new pair of shoes. In Singapore, Chinese likes to use the phase “bitten by our shoes” ("被鞋咬" direct translation) to mean having blisters from their shoes. The remedy is to bite the shoes before it bites you. It does work too if you apply this “tactic” after you were bitten, however, the taste of a pair of worn shoes differs from that of a new pair. It’s strange but true, and I don’t just mean the taste.
To my “knowledge”, it doesn’t matters who, the set of teeth belong to. So, husbands and boyfriends out there, if you want to prove your undying love, you can start by helping your wives or girlfriends to nibble their shoes. A word of caution, do not go to your pet dogs for help, they usually love the taste of it so much that they will chew the whole shoes to bits.
Bon Appétit!
