-A photo comparing the shoes of King Charles III and those of his host, William Ruto, has caused a buzz online
-Funny replies have resulted in netizens cleverly adding an economic twist to the shoe photo
A significant percentage of the human population can relate to challenges of debt. What’s more, the advice is not to appear like you are in debt.
Indeed, make sure you appear great and present yourself as someone who can repay extra loans.
Recently, a picture of King Charles III’s shoes and those of his host, William Ruto, has gone viral on the internet.
The tweet noted in the photo’s caption, “One is the lender, and the other is the borrower.”
The widely shared photo contrasts the two leaders’ shoes, with King Charles’ appearing slightly worn out.
President Ruto’s shoes, however, appear to be reasonably brand-new and glossy.
The photo’s significance lay in the fact that the borrower, in this case President Ruto, wore more expensive shoes.
Here are some of the reactions to the viral photo:
Tom Oyier: The lender walks, the borrower flies… The lender gets around in a Disco 4, and the borrower uses an LC 300, among others.
Shabaya: “One thing I’ve learned about most, not all, British men and boys What they wear is the last thing they get concerned about. Guys wear one shirt, shoes, and shorts for days.”
Njoroge Kamau: We don’t need a mathematical table to know that the borrower must look good to convince the lender.
Muluvi Mutua: “The Queen had an official royal shoe-wearer who wore her shoes till they were as comfortable as slippers before she even set foot in them. The King may have one too.”

Sniper: We all polish our shoes when we go for bank loans and rock a pair of smart pants. No one really cares what the bank manager looks like. Life!
Chienjo Jr.: “If you know anything about old money and quiet luxury, you’re not letting optics delude you here.”
Geoffrey Wanyoike: Our president is not aged as such. This makes no sense when making comparisons.
