Shoes at the Department Store

Last month, I went to a department store to buy new tennis shoes.
There were blue shoes and white shoes in the sales area.
I liked both, so I didn’t buy one right away.
I called my older brother and asked, “Which is better for tennis, the blue shoes or the white shoes?”
My older brother said, “The white shoes are better for tennis.”
So, I bought the white shoes.
