Thank Goodness for NGOs, once again making the difference.
Or, as a friend who wishes to remain anonymous puts it:
SORRY WE OVERTHREW YOUR GOVERNMENT...HERE ARE SOME SHOES

Said friend, something of a shoe connoisseur herself, has a few pairs of the brand in question and notes that they are particularly quick to develop unpleasant odors and mold. I would never know these important ethnographic details on my own. She adds:
they are NOT conducive to walking from your soon-to-be-privatized elementary school through open sewage and maquila run-off to your house where your structural-violence-poor parents will not be able to throw them in the nonexistent clothes dryer
