I come in today and find my inner shoes are gone. Sad

I brought these from home and they are the winter crocs with no holes. I have pretty big feet so these little cheap-o's the korean wear don't fit or bust after awhile. I am little upset, not because they were stolen but because those things were expensive when I bought them.

Any how, They are brown crocs, no holes, size 14. I live in Gyeongsan so if you see them please return them Laughing

Damn. You have a bigger foot than me. Being that this is Korea I would suggest searching any nearby clown colleges first. Someone may have returned them there by accident. I'm ruling out the ski slopes due to it being summer season.
I was in dire need of some 13s and with a little ingenuity I was able to convert a pair of 11 and a halfs to fit. They look kind of funny up close but as long as I'm wearing black socks it's not too noticable.

Here we go again with the shoe conundrum. Did you ask around? This is what worked for me. Sorry, we don't know what happened to your size 14 shoes, only someone in your school knows who might be playing the shoe game on you. It's sparkling how your shoes can magically appear in 1 minute when you get directly serious about it and then when you ask where they were found, you'll never get an answer, but it's very possible to get your shoes as someone you know knows where they're at. Think of it as an indirect passive aggressive way of challenging your assertiveness or inner strengths so it's time to face off without being too scary. Once they experience how uncomfortable your direct assertiveness makes them feel, they'll think twice before pulling a stunt on you again.

About 3rd period they were returned. A KT found them in the 2nd building's 2nd floor bathroom. About an hour later one of my former co-teachers shows up with a 3rd grader(who I have never taught) who said he thought they were bathroom shoes because they look very different. Nothing had been done to them. When I asked the kid why he didn't just return them, He looked at me with a blank stare and shrugged. The Korean teachers said the young generation does not think.
