Ha! Funnily enough I was just thinking about this the other day. Yes, I am an owner of multiple shoes, but Sudan is hard on clothes and shoes, what with the sand and the dust and the lack of pavements and sealed roads, and the preponderance of random pools of water and piles of rubbish everywhere, and so I only brought with me shoes that I can afford to destroy. So with me I have: black one-strap Birkenstock sandals; a pair of silver leather ballet flats; a pair of pink patent mary-janes; and one blue and one green pair of fake leather ballet flats from Peacocks. The Birks were £20, and I don't think I paid more than a fiver for any of the others. I wear the Birks and the silver flats the most; the green and blue ones are already on their way out, and I don't expect them, or the silver ones, to make it back to the UK with me.
