I WORE THOSE SHOES ONCE AND THEY LOOKED TERRIBLE

 Sometimes we buy clothes or shoes that look nice in the store, but when we wear them, they don’t look good or feel comfortable. This can be disappointing or even funny later. The sentence “I wore those shoes once and they looked terrible” is in past simple. It means the person used the shoes one time, and the result wasn’t good.
