If the Shoe Fits

Just after my birthday two years ago, September 2024, I purchased a few items for myself, especially including these shoes. 

It was my second pair of that nature with slightly different patchwork than this first pair. I wore them a bit the fall of 2024 and all through last summer. They still have some life in them, but due to my stupid gait I tend to wear shoes down even though I don't walk many miles.

I've got into the habit of wearing bold, colourful shoes, and people remark on them. I think most of those commenters think I am a silly old fool, but if the shoe fits who am I to argue?

So, what to do since the company doesn't seem to produce this design any longer?

I have kept my eyes out and finally found a pair that would do. I ordered them. After that, I saw another pair, the red ones. Like the first white pair, the red ones were on sale and not very expensive, so I indulged myself. I imagine that the low price on the reds means that they aren’t exactly robust footwear, but I should be able to wear them just to go out for coffee if I want to dazzle. lol

Both pair were on a good sale, otherwise I would probably have not purchased any shoes.

While I think I will always prefer the original, patchwork shoes, I will be able to continue wearing footwear that has become a bit of a trademark. I like feeling good about something that has to do with my otherwise decrepit and sorry anatomy.
