I've had these shoes for 6ish years now. They are super comfortable, but I've literally worn the soles down to the point where there is a sizable hole now. And I'm also lazy so I haven't gotten replacement shoes. But I don't really know if I want to. The situation is kind of hilarious. Walking has become a mental game now. Instead of a boring old walk down the sidewalk, I'm strategically avoiding wet puddles, sharp rocks and glass, and other obstacles that will most likely ruin my day with pain or anti-dryness. The downside is that my brain is entirely occupied with where I'm stepping, when clearly I could be thinking about.... let's say.... solving all the maths?
I'll admit though, this game gets a bit tiresome every now and then. Like those moments when I leave for class and it is dry and nice out, but then I'm going home at night and SURPRISE JACKASS, it is pouring rain now. And the walk from Tufts to Central is SUPER WET and there is NO DEARTH OF PUDDLES. Yeah, those socks got destroyed. And for your amusement, here is a picture of Lexie, my family's new puppy. So adorbs.

more importantly, it is a picture of lexi as well as a person WHO WEARS FUNCTIONAL SHOES!
ReplyDeletei understand the intense emotional attachment, but based on the number of times that we have discussed the desperate tragedy of wearing soggy socks, the choice would be obvious.
remember, just because you get new shoes, it doesn't mean that you love the old shoes any less, and they don't have to replace the old shoes in your memory. but i think it's time chris and i will support you along the way.

Dislike. I loved those shoes like my first, third and fourth children ... if you had told me you were throwing them away I would've walked to your house in Cambridge to pick them up, walked directly to the frame store to frame them and then proudly hung them on my wall.
