1. Dangerous shoes.
2. Following the rules.
3. Angry shoppers.
4. New fashion.
5. Dress rules.
6. Wear in special areas.
A. A new kind of training shoes, with wheels in the heel, are in fashion in
Wales. Many teenagers asked for them at Christmas. But the manager of the St
Andrew`s Shopping Centre in Liverpool says the shoes, called ‘Heelies’, are
dangerous. He says kids in ‘Heelies’ can’t enter the mall. They must take them
off and walk around in their socks.
B. The manager, Gilmour Johnes, thinks there is a safety problem. Teenagers
with these shoes could break a shop window or knock down an older customer.
Mr. Johnes says that the rule against wheels is not new. ‘For many years we have
had the rules against using rollerblades or skateboards in the centre.’
C. Many other malls also have specific dress rules for teenagers. In the USA,
some malls have rules about wearing baseball caps. You mustn’t wear your cap
to the side — the cap must be straight, and you mustn’t wear it low over your
face. The security camera must be able to see your face.
D. Many of these rules are to stop big groups of teenagers getting in the way
of shoppers. Groups of kids sometimes stand on the stairs or in the doors and
customers can’t pass. Some shoppers are afraid of large groups of noisy
teenagers. One mall manager said, ‘We are here to sell. If you don’t want to buy,
we don’t want you here.’
E. However, the problem with ‘Heely’ shoes is not just the feelings of other
shoppers. There is a real safety problem — these shoes can be dangerous. The
company that makes them tells users not to wear them in crowded places.
