There is a shop in Donholm opposite Choma Base that sells mens mitumba leather shoes at between 5k and 13k.

Yaani wazua middo crass put on mitumba shoes and clothes? Am shocked!

Visit the shop and you will be shocked further by the collection there.I once saw alligator shoes there and by the time I went back they were gone.


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. Same applies to Vitz and all vehicles in between!

It's one thing to be in the middle class [or whichever class] and another to stay there. Or go down or up for that matter!!!

You don't just spend money because you have it!

Someone once said, the biggest mistake employed people make is taking their salary as fruits when in real sense you should treat it as a SEED. This applies to all you money [even if you are self employed]. Warren Buffet is a student of this philosophy and it has done him good! 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?

ive had good BATA shoes for the last 4years..
Leather bata shoes are just as good as any other imported shoes.


Aiiihhhh immediately u buy them day 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.Sad Sad
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

I recently bought 2 pairs of Hush Puppies on 50% Sale from a new Bata Store opposite Jevanjee Muindi Mbingu. I think they are official Distributors for the Brand. Very comfortable shoe!
