Je was op zoek naar: polobotková (Tjechisch - Engels)

polobotková obuv s nízkým nebo vysokým podpatkem, vycházková i domácí;
flat or high-heeled shoes for ordinary indoor or outdoor wear;

ale muž zíral na své mechanicky sem a tam se šoupající špičky bot a chvíli trvalo, než mu obraz jeho zaprášených polobotek pronikl do mozku a on si uvědomil, že jimi šoupe.
the man, however, was staring at his mechanically scraping shoe tips and it took a while before the image of the dusty shoes reached his consciousness and he became aware of the scraping.
