Where Is My Favourite Slippers?

Besides shoes wether branded or otherwise,we use slippers or sandals to protect our feet.While I was small I wore rubber shoes each day to school.Not that I liked it so much but it was the
school"s rule.If I had my choice I would happily put on my brown leather shoes ,BATA brand that is,with my clean white socks.At least I looked smarter.I thought so.After schools I gladly
took off my rubber shoes and looked for my slippers.Most popular slippers was the Japanese
slippers.It's made of rubber.Maybe it was made in Japan.That's why it's called Japanese
slippers.Japanese slippers are still around but through the years they improve on the designs
but not so soft and 'rubbery' as the ones I used to wear before.As I grew older I became more
choosy as there were many more designs to choose from.It wasn't cool anymore to wear
Japanese slippers(Nowadays most people wear Japanese slippers at home).Out of the many
slippers in the market at that time I chose to wear slippers produced by BATA( never tried
any other brand)known as 'intellectual slippers' .Nothing fancy about the design but to me it was
the most comfortable slippers.It came in three colours-black,beige and dark red.During my university days,intellectual slipper was my best friend.After I graduated and start working I still wore the slipper.I wonder how it got his name.But too bad,over the years intellectual slippers were no longer in production.Will BATA produce it again.I miss my best friend.
