Bata shoes
by The Absolute Zero Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:38 am
Anyone has recently seen the Bata.in website? The shoes are like 3k and up and even the chappal is 199.00 by Hush puppies.
Why on earth these are so expensive? In K-Mart you can buy a decent shoe for 20 or 30 bucks that would last for 2 years. Even Sears and Kohls can sell the Hush Puppies for 50 bux and if you are lucky you can get one of their 30% off on a given day and cash in.
Any reason why this Bata shoes are so highly priced? Plus the shoes look awfully old fashioned and bad. They discontinued the old QuoVadis (4 laces on each side) that looked elegant. I remember waiting for this Quo Vadis for overn year while living in the then Madras. It was very popular. Why do they discontinue a popular brand? IT/whatever boom is destroying the country beyond a reasonable repair methinks.

clothes/shoes are much much cheaper in the USA if you decide to wait for sales and use coupons.
some folks I know who went back to India for good and who visit US once in two years or so do all their shopping here.

Nothing is cooler than The Absolute Zero!
Is what I wanted to say. Cool dude.
BTW HA if you have nothing to say about the topic (more than once I observed you digress on the subjects and topic), there is an easy method. STFU. (Pun intended)

I don't have to google. I am looking for the pun.

Hush puppies is not Bata's in house product. It is a US based brand which Bata manufactures/markets under license. When you add up license fees etc the price is bound to be very high. Hush puppies selling for 000's of rupees is no different than a subway sandwich costing 180 Rs, Domino's pizza costing 1000 Rs etc.
