Photo hunt - Shoes
The not-wife is the Imelda Marcos of Converse sneakers. My first entry for Photo Hunt
Very impressive!! My daughter one has one pair at a time, but once her feet stop growing, I'm sure she'll be like not-wife--a pair to go with everything!
THanks all for you comments. These are but a part of the love of my life's Converse collection. Me? I wear Vans out of the office (and sometimes in the office too!)
I scrolled down and was really interested in the story about the ice man. I remember when they found him. Nice to know he went down with a fighting spirit!
Welcome to Photo Hunters! What a great group pf people! I love your shoes! They would go with any sporting event! lol..My photo is up, please come and visit
Ooooooh, I LOVE those shoes. I use to wear them mismatched back in high school. I was some kind of preppy rebel! My son has a camo pair and a Jolly Roger set too that are tres cool.
Nice master piece.
