Yet another pair out for the eclipse and some shopping
It being summer, I decided it was a good time to dig out a box of old shoes that I hadn't worn for a while. Various sizes, many pretty decrepit.
Most of these were photographed a few years ago, but then I put them on, took some photos, and then put them away again. This time I decided that I'd actually wear them for a while as I take the photos. I was pleasantly surprised to find that even the ones I considered "unwearable" were in fact perfectly wearable, although in a couple of cases I had to make minor repairs so they would stay on my feet.
I wore each of these anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. The only reason for not wearing them longer was that there are so many pair to wear! In fact I'm only about half way through the collection. You'll see more in an upcoming post.
Another of my 1960's loafers worn down. These wore through the Neolite soles, eventually the front half fell off. I still wore them, particularly to grad school and for work around the house. They got paint on them, but I still wore them and much of the paint wore away.
Now that I've got them out, they'll get some more wear. They ar pretty comfy, I like holey shoes!.
