Shopping for Shoes English Conversation
Shopper: I need some shoes for a sight seeing trip.
Shoe Clerk: I imagine you’ll be doing a lot of walking.
Shopper: Yes so I’d like them to be comfortable.
Retail Clerk: I would recommend a leather loafer. They are casual yet functional.
Shopper: Are they good for walking?
Retail Clerk: Yes. These ones have added support in the sole and the leather allows the foot to breath.
Shopper: I like the style. Do you have a size eight?
Retail Clerk: Yes we do. Would you prefer a slip-on loafer or one with laces?
Shopper: I’d like a slip-on. Preferably in a brown or tan.
Retail Clerk: We six different colors with this style. I’ll bring the tan and brown but you also might want to try the burnt orange.
Shopper: Sure bring all three in a size eight.
Retail Clerk: How do they fit? Do you like the colors?
Shopper: They fit great. It feels like I’ll get a lot of foot support.
