I find it awkward buying shoes,
For I never know which ones to choose.
Are they too loose or are they too tight?
Are they comfortable and are they just right?

First, I must try them in the shop,
But my confidence will soon stop.
For after I try on many a pair,
I look all around filled with despair.

And I like to buy ones which look smart
Before I get ready the money from which I'll part,
Although I always hope to leave with the news
That I have bought some nice new shoes!
