So it was only natural, and even desirable for our safety, that I should create this sneaker of liberation. And to be perfectly fair, what name could I possibly have given her other than Thelma, eh? You see, you don't know yourself, because sometimes the obvious pushes you to your deepest limits. It's called Thelma after Ridley Scott's film, which marked its first resurrection, and as a tribute to Geena Davis, a magnificent actress with a toothy smile and a lanky figure. The Thelma will allow you to run around and escape from all the situations that bore you. Thanks to whom? Thanks to you. Finally, thanks to Thelma and its sole, you'll gain 3 cm in height. Isn't that great!

It is important to waterproof your metallic nubuck shoes before using them for the first time, and then frequently if you want to keep them in good condition. Avoid prolonged exposure to sun and water. Make sure you remove the protective plastic from the soles before wearing your shoes once you are sure you won't be returning them for refunds, and don't wait too long to have your soles fitted with a no slip pad by an experienced cobbler.
