Its only that I couldn't imagine mawinder leaving his 75k-a month-rent kileleshwa apartment, then puts 1k fuel in his premio/subaru and heads to the other side of town, parks outside a mitumba shop and starts to bargain for mitumba shoes (while clutching a 65k Samsung S4). I find some wazuans and by extension Kenyans very pretentious. Virtually all wazuans have something mtumba. As matter of fact, a vast majority of Range Rovers on Kenyan roads are mitumbas.

If living in a rented fourth floor apartment in Kileleshwa is YOUR self actualization, well and good. You can spend your money on whatever - however! My 2 Zim cents + VAT. Thanks Maichy for pointing this out. I have bought shoes from this Doni guy. It is a question of quality. You can get a shoe from him that will easily outlive the shoes from bata or elsewhere. So I am not alone in mitumbas.Now where can I get nice mitumba shirts,trousers and suits?

Aiiihhhh immediately u buy them da y one they start having creases for lack of a better word.... For me, biggest problem is cracking/breaking of the soles. I bought several leather pairs at once less than a year back and all have same problem.  Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

I think they are official Distributors for the Brand. Very comfortable shoe!

Kwani you always have to put on hand me downs  . Sometimes buy them new. lol Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....

Especially for shoes, I will go to mtush and get quality equivalent to stuff sold at the very high end shopping locations. 13K mtush shoes is equivalent to 30K new shoes. Got Salvatore Ferragamo boots from my Donholm mtumba shoe supplier at 14k and never bothered to bargain as that price was unbelievable.I even tipped him 200 bob!!!!!!!!!

Wont be going back there You guys still buy shoes from Bata?? This bata brand died long time when they started importing technology and shoes from china. I had a bad experience with them 2 years ago and never went back again - bought some shoes k=for 3500/= whose sole cut into 2 in a week - I settled for Ethiopia mitumbas from a guy in town and no complains so far God gave me the power to make wealth ... Blessed the work of my hands & enabled be A SELF MADE BILLIONAIRE ...... TO GOD THE FATHER OF MY LORD JESUS CHRIST; BE THE GLORY NOW & FOREVER MORE!
