The year was 1983, Bonnie Tyler was singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and I was wearing a pair of shoes like this wondering how I was going to get the future Mrs. Trout to go out with me.I was probably watching Tom Cruise in that ridiculous football movie while I sported a pair of shoes much like these bad boys.
Well, as luck would have it, right there at eye level, front and center in the thrift store were these beauties. Brand spanking new - still in the box - stuffed full of paper. Let me tell you, "NO" was a word I could not say. It was as if the moment I set foot in the store the shoes called my name.
I've never loved a pair of shoes as much as I love these . . . never.
STEVE!! TELL ME THEY ARE SIZE 9.5 OR 10 AND THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT! I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PAIR OF SHOES SO SWEET.
ReplyDeleteI'm way jealous! Not only do they offer exceptional ankle support, but you'll also always be patriotic. The only thing they are missing is a zipper on the side for your lunch money.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes have Paul written all over them! I know he is going to sneak up on you in the night and steal them.
ReplyDeleteFreddie, Paul already has me worried. He is crazy with envy over my newest footwear acquisition. I don't know what he's capable of at this point.
ReplyDeleteHow you managed to turn the virtue of shopping at a local thrift store into a an exercise in rank matieralism baffles me.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you guys found me. You're awesome!
