Check out this pair of shoes I found on the road!
Just kidding, I didn't find them on the road. I bought them...
brand new....
sixteen years ago (give or take a year) when Converse was still a company, rather than a line of shoes owned by Nike.
These shoes were all the rage in the early to mid-90s, and they weren't cheap. They cost somewhere around a hundred bucks a pair, sometimes more. Usually, shoes last me a year. These ones lasted just a bit longer. I'm surprised there's still some tread left on them, considering how many miles I put on these things. I still had one of the original laces until a couple months ago when it pretty much rotted off the shoe. That explains the black lace on the one shoe that was robbed off a newer, more worn-out pair that I retired.
I don't wear them on a regular basis. They're generally only used as a pair of "slip ons" to take the garbage out, do general yardwork, make a run to the garage, etc. Recently, I realized that they are going to need to be trashed fairly soon, as the hole in the left shoe is beginning to get much, much bigger. I can't use them in the winter anymore.
Wow, what a stupid thing to blog about...
