Pairs the counter keeps.

Retail sale of footwear is the whole of the work. Two shapes cover what the room is known for. A third note says how a pair actually leaves the sill, and a fourth says what a written question can and cannot do.

01

A flat sandal

One strap, an open heel, a sole for a warm day. People ask for it when they want the foot mostly open. The photograph on the home page is this kind of sandal, sitting with the slip-ons. It is not a numbered style from a brand list, and the page does not claim a color is in stock.

In the room, the counter puts the sandal out so you can see the strap and the sole. Size is tried there. If that shape is not on the sill that day, the counter says so.

02

A canvas slip-on

A closed cloth upper and no laces. People ask for it when they want a shoe they can step into and walk out in. It sits beside the sandals when the room has it. The page does not print a size run, because the run changes with what was brought in.

A slip-on is chosen the same way as the sandal: look, try, decide in the room. A note can ask whether cloth slip-ons are out. The answer is whatever is there, not a promise that a pair will be held.

03

How a pair leaves the room

The sale is in person. You have seen the shoe, the size has been tried, and the counter takes the payment there. This website never takes that payment. It has no checkout, no invoice, and no delivery form.

If you only wanted to know what kind of shoe the room sells, the home page and this page are enough. If you wanted a specific pair kept back, that is not something these pages do.

04

What a note is for

Use the enquiry when you cannot pass by the room and you still want a straight answer: is the sandal out, is the slip-on out, or should you come and look. Put the shape in the note. Put a size only if you already know it.

The button opens a draft in your own mail program, addressed to the shop. Closing the draft sends nothing. The host does not store the words.
