Footwear History 101
I was putting away my summer shoes for the winter and thinking of the history of my shoes. Some of them have some crazy pasts, born in bizarre situations and acheived greatness. My favorite history is my high top Chuck Taylor's that I found new in a cupboard in a house in Nantucket and they used to play soccer against the Mexicans. They were dirty mexicans too who tried to hurt me but my Converse were faster then them. My favorite sandals, the Welligtons, coincidentaly, were found in a closet in Rarotunga after my $100 pair busted going snorkeling after 2 weeks. With a little duck tape these fellas kept me going for 5 more months and are still around for short vacation bouts.
I deem today official history of shoes appreciation day. Look at your shoes and think about them.

oh no... i missed my chance! i wish i would have known it was shoe appreciation day. i'll have to save my story for next year!
just three questions...
what size are your feet? does every man have the same foot size? why should you be so lucky to find two pair of shoes that happened to fit?

Well my foot size it 9 which is smallish/average for men. I was lucky with the two shoe scores. The converse were a size too big but I made them work. They make my feet look bigger and therefore my penis as well so they rock. The sandals are a perfect fit. I dont know how I got so lucky with them. They even floated if you were snorkelling and they fell off. Sometimes we would float them off a pier and try to bomb them with Luftwafa (sic) raisins.
