Shoes

As my girl Mewby was putting on her shoes in the 玄関 today she said to me:

いい靴はいい所に連れて行ってくれるねんで。

玄関 - genkan = entryway
いい - ii = good
- kutsu = shoes
- tokoro = place
連れて行く - tsurete iku = take you along
くれる - kureru = do (something) for (someone)

ねんで (nen de) is simply the 関西弁 (Kansai ben or Kansai dialect) equivalent of だよ (da yo) meaning something like "you know". In other words:

You know a good pair of shoes will take you to good places.

Little expressions like that please me no end.
