Born and raised in metropolitan Singapore, the old boy writing to you is no couch potato or IT geek but also not the hyper-outdoorsy type. Frequenting between tropical island Singapore and Asian cities to earn my keeps as a creative consultant, asphalt jungle is my territory, dressy shoes, trusted running shoes and all-weather-all-terrain sandals to go with it.

Despite the perennial city love, I was born with the travel bug and as often as my work schedule and I can afford, I would take a trekking or beach-going excursion to the rural outskirts, or simply enjoy a morning 3-mile run and stroll in the neighborhood.

Like 70-80% of city-dwelling adults, I may get athlete's feet and foot aches from time to time. To stay away from foot ailments and to stay athletic, I change between a few pairs of shoes in the day, and wear a pair of airy sandals whenever I'm not meeting my clients and for weekends. I chose a pair of Crocs sandals made of lightweight polyurethane for the hot, humid weather in my hometown and during the summers in cities I travel to. I love its quirky looks, it's light and airy, and most importantly it doesn't hurt my feet and my pocket!

Cheers,
