Question

Where did you get those shoes?

Answer

This is a popular New Orleans scam. If someone comes up to you and asks “Where you got your shoes?” Just say, “I live here” or ignore them. If you engage they’ll say something like, “on your left and right feet” or “on Bourbon St.” and then demand payment. Don’t engage. It happened to us once and then we just walked away and it was fine.
