At a Shoe Shop - Speak Out

Heat. Heat. Good morning, madam. What can I do for you? >> I'm looking for a pair of good walking shoes. >> Walking shoes. What color would you like? >> Brandy. >> And what's your size, please, madam? >> Size four and a half. >> Would you like leather soles or rubbers? >> I think rubbers are better for walking. >> Rubber souls. This way, please. Now, here are three pairs. These are very good shoes. Are these walking shoes? >> Oh, yes, madam. They look very light. >> Oh, yes, madam. They are light, but they're also very strong. They're some of the strongest shoes we make. That's why they're so expensive. >> Oh, they're expensive, are they? >> Yes, I'm afraid they are. Let me see. They're £1275. >> They are expensive. >> Would you like to try them on? >> Um, no. Show me some other pairs. >> Certainly, madam. I've got these ones. They look nice. They look stronger than those ones, but they expensive. >> No, they're not as expensive as the other ones. They're £925. >> May I see? Here you are, madam. Yes, but they are heavier than the first pair. I like those ones better. >> As I was saying, madam, these ones are lighter and stronger, >> but they're more expensive. No, show me something else. Well, there's this pair here. They're very comfortable. And they're quite reasonable, too. They look more comfortable than that pair. >> Would you like to try them on? >> Let me see them first, please. They're quite nice. Yes, I'll try them on. Would you like to take off your right shoe? >> No, I'll try the left one. My left ought to be bigger than my right. >> Oh, I see. There you are, madam. It is difficult to get on. It's fairly tight. This is size four and a half. Yes, but sometimes the sizes come out smaller. Oh, I can't get this on at all. Let me help you, madam. No, it's no good. I must try on a larger size. I haven't got a larger pair in that model. Would you like to try another model? I've got this model in size four and 4 and 1/2. Let me see it. Looks more fashionable than the other ones, but it's very attractive, don't you think, Madam? What about price? This one's quite reasonable. £850. 850 H. It's the prettiest shoe of all and it's one of the most reasonable ones. I don't want suede really. Have you got it in a smooth leather? We do have it. I'll have a look. Yes, mother. I have got a level. May I see? But this isn't the same one. Look at the heels much higher and the toe caps more pointy. Much heavier than the other models, too. >> Yes, ma'am. Suede is always lighter than leather. And these are much harder too somehow. >> Yes, ma'am. Suede is always softer than leather. Won't you try one on? Yes. All right. Well, at least it fits. Here, try the other one, too. Would you like to undo the laces for me? >> Certainly, madam. There. They suit you, madam. H would you like to walk about? Yes. Not bad. But I did want something a little more comfortable and a little less fashionable. >> Good morning. Good morning. I'd like some shoes for my daughter. Just a moment, madam. I'll be with you in a minute. Would you like to take a seat? Thank you. No, I don't think these are quite what I wanted. >> They suit you very well, madam. >> Would you help me take it off >> there, madam? >> Thank you. >> Can I show you anything else? >> No, thank you. I'll think about it. Thank you very much. >> Good morning, madam. Now look, listen, and repeat when you hear. Now, madam, what can I do for you? I'd like a pair of shoes for my daughter. Not shoes. Boots. Mommy. What? Boots in the summer. Yes, Mom. Everybody's wearing in the shed. Yes, madam. She's quite right. Light summer boots are in this year. >> All right, show her what you've got. But I still think she ought to have a pair of light summer shoes. Oh, mom, the boots are light, too. Here you are, madam. I bought you some boots and some very nice summer shoes, too. Do you like these? They are awful. I like them, but Jenny, they are for the winter. No, mommy. They're made of sail cloth, not suede. >> What size are these? Size four and a half. Would you like to try them on? Okay, thanks. They're too big. Are these shoes beside? Yes, dear. Oh, mom, not those. These are nicer than those. >> Repeat now. But the boots are more fashionable than the shoes. But the boots are more fashionable than the shoes. The shoes look awful and they're so heavy. Heavy? Yes, Mom. But these are shoes and those are boots. These ones are heavier than those. Yes. You see, the soles are very heavy because they're made of rubber. The boots are lighter than the shoes. Have you got the boots a size smaller? I'll have a look. Thank you. I've got a similar pair of size four. Would you like to have a look at them? All right. Shoes are more comfortable than boots. Oh, mom. The boots are cheaper than the shoes. Yes, they are more reasonable than the shoes. See, mom, would you like to try these on? Okay, thanks. How do they feel? I don't think I'm doing them up properly. Let me help you. Would you like to walk about me? They're quite comfortable. They are more attractive than most boots. Oh, yes. They're a lot nicer, madam. I think they're super. Do they fit, Jenny? Yes. Mom, they look a bit small to me. She can try a size larger. Yes. Try the larger ones, Jenny. Is this one larger than this one? It is, isn't it? Yes, I think it's a bit too large. Yes, it is. All right, then leave it. Can't I have a black boot? Are you sure they're not too big as well? She'll grow into them, madam. I think those ones were prettiest of all. I only hope they are the most comfortable. They're the cheapest and they're the most attractive. >> All right, Jenny, you win. Yes, we'll take that pair. That one? Thank you, madam. Would you like them in a box? >> Oh, no thanks. Just put them in a bag. Can't I keep them on? >> Oh, all right then. Uh, just a moment, miss. Hey, Mom. They're not bad. Would you like to try a larger size? They fit me. Mommy, you don't want any new shoes, do you? No, you're quite right. And I can't afford them anyway. Thank you very much, Miss. You can wear mine sometimes. That'll be £3, please. Madam, here you are. Thank you. Two pounds change. Thank you. I hope you like your boots. Thank you. Goodbye. Goodbye.

No. Well, those ones really are cheap. >> Those ones are cheaper than those. Those ones are cheaper than those. >> But look at these. >> Those ones are the cheapest. Those ones are the cheapest. Now you answer like that. What about these suede shoes? Aren't they pretty? No, >> all these leather ones. >> The leather ones are prettier. >> The leather ones are prettier than the suede ones. Really? But what about these then? >> Those ones are the Those ones are the prettiest. >> Yes, they are, aren't they, sir? These men shoes are very nice. Aren't they nice? No. What about these boots? The boots are nicer than the shoes. >> What about these boots? >> Those boots are the nicest. I like them too, madam. Now let me see. These suede boots are very reasonable. They are reasonable, aren't they? No. What about these canvas ones? The canvas boots are more reasonable than the suede ones. >> Well, what about these then? >> Those are the most reasonable ones. >> They certainly are. You want comfortable shoes, don't you? Well, these are very comfortable. No. What about these? Those are more comfortable than those. >> But just look at these. Ah, those are the most comfortable. >> Yes, I think so too, madam. Now, this is a very light shoe. But now look at this one. >> That shoe is lighter than that one. >> Yes, you're right, madam. Now, look at this one. That shoe is certainly the lightest. >> Yes, it's almost too light, isn't it, sir? But now, sir, I think you'll like these very attractive sandals. They are attractive, aren't they?
