It must have been a conspiracy of the elements; there’s no other possible explanation for the fact that buying these amazing red suede sandals (a.k.a. the per-fect shoe) and the change in temperature have exactly happened at the same time.

Voo store in Berlin is kind of hidden -in one of those so-typical courtyards in the German capital- in the number 24 in Oranienstrasse.
