Let me ask you a question. Are you always hungry? Yes? Good. Now, allow me to introduce to you a delicacy that has probably never graced your palate and can finally satiate your hunger guaranteed. It’s called shoes. All the types of shoes. Each to quench your tongue with a myriad of flavors. With so many shoes to choose from, here’s some of my beginner-friendly recommendations for your taste buds to lick. 

Formal shoes are quite the delicacy for the high class. It ranges from your average filet mignon to your A5 wagyu beef, perfectly marbled and cooked to perfection. Some say that it really does taste like steak but without the beef. It really depends on the person. However, if you’re looking for a place to spend money, look no further than formal shoes. They can be a bit pricey, but they’re still good. 8/10.

Flip-flops are the complete opposite from your high class delectables. It’s a bit of a hit or miss, but they’re your quick snack: your beef sticks, your potato chips, your ice cream that fell in the wood chips while swinging, but you still ate for the extra fibers. Flip-flops do have a slightly plastic-rubbery texture, so it doesn’t sit well with some people. Although, they do work well as slices of bread. 6/10.

Reeboks™ is one of those shoes that are comparable to a sweet treat. It’s your ice cream, your Skittles, your Hershey’s kiss. They taste good and give you a boost of sugar, but it doesn’t last very long. 9/10.

Adidas™ is your average mid-tier basic food. They fill your basic needs and do their job as shoes. 7/10, good enough. 

Crocs™ is a very special pair of shoes. Just close your eyes and imagine this: You enter your home to receive a warm hug of a familiar, delicious aroma of your favorite dish perfectly cooked by your mother. That is the closest description you can get to these shoes. They come in multiple varieties too varying from holes to hole-less. 10/10 would recommend.

Nike™ is your exercise snack. They’re high in protein and carbohydrates. Some say that they have 4902g of protein and 12,030g of carbohydrates. Maybe those aren’t your healthiest, ideal amounts, but they exist. 3/10.

That’s it for this week’s recommendations of new shoes to try. If you’re still feeling hungry after this five-star buffet of variety, then you should try them again. It’s always better the second time around.
