“Last week I bumped into a colleague we work with inside a Bata shop. She was admiring the greenish Northstar wedges. You know how ladies can be with shoes.
“Aki woiyee(Please) add me Kshs.500 . I have to buy this shoe!” she cried.
It was like she could have left her handbag in the shop or anything for her to have the shoes right then! Being the good friend I am, I helped her out. Then I though…Bata must be doing something right….like they are now ‘getting it’ in terms of fashion.
Mine is a love-turned-hate-turned love for Bata shoes.
I grew up in Limuru. Throughout my childhood, my parents bought me safari boots for my casual wear (read Sunday best) and Bata leather shoes for school. My brothers and I wore that without question and naturally in my teens I started rebelling against all the things I had been made to do like wearing Bata shoes. That was until I got a job in Nairobi and moved out of home. My quest to find an official-looking pair of shoes for a job interview led me to Bata. Albeit reluctantly, I walked in to a Bata shop and was surprised to find shoes I liked! Many
shoes actually – that I liked. Since then I have bought several pairs. I particularly like the Hush Puppies.
Keep it up Bata.” – Robert. W
