Sitting and waiting while the same guy went into the back to find whatever it was he thought they were looking for, the scowl on Diego’s face only grew deeper at Kat’s comment.  “Ugh.  Maybe the ones who sell women's shoes do.”  He replied in a disgusted tone.  He never got the feet thing at all.  He found legs sexy of course, and he could imagine it would probably be some guy’s thing to be kneeling in front of women all day, but the foot fetish thing just grossed him out.  From the casual way Kat responded Diego had to wonder if it did the same for her.  Of course, as soon as he thought that he reminded himself that whatever her fetishes were, it was likely nothing he’d have to worry about.<br/><br/>Soon enough the salesman returned, and Diego slipped into the less shiny of the two options he bought, which turned out to be the 12 and a halfs as well.  “Well, these should work.”  He replied, flexing his toes and finding the shoes comfortable, if a bit stiff.  Luckily, it didn’t sound like he’d be dancing or anything.  “Yeah, wouldn’t want my shoes to be TOO shiny and look like I was trying too hard.”  Standing up, Diego took a few testing steps, and was ready to go back into his well worn sneakers when Kat made the good point that he’d have to leave them on to break them in.<br/><br/>“Really?” He asked, looking down at where they clashed horribly with the rest of his outfit.  “Well, that is not going to look ridiculous at all.”  Sighing, Diego bent down to put his sneakers in the box, the salesman CLEARLY didn’t want to touch them, and followed Kat and him to the counter to let her pay once again.   Once the transaction was done, after he deliberately ignored the salesman, Diego waited until he and Kat were outside the door to speak again.<br/><br/>“Hey, do you want to walk around the mall a bit more?” He asked, unsure what kind of plans she had for the afternoon, especially since she was newly single.  “If I have to look like the crazy guy in jeans and dress shoes, I’d rather do it here where no one knows me, instead of on campus.”
