I spent a week plus business trip down there and at least 10 times a day people would say "I know where you got dem shoes". I learned from a friend prior to going to NO, not to stop as it is a nice mugging tactic. I didn't believe him till I got off the plane and literally 10 minutes later....I heard the line.
