Sean asked me a few days ago if I needed another pair of shoes and he asked me if I would ever wear white shoes. Here’s the thing, currently, I wear all black Adidas shell toes. Somewhat of a throwback from Run DMC but they work for me! When I taught, I wore Chuck‘s. I had 13 pair. I never wore the same pair two days in a row and students would notice that I changed my Chuck’s all the time! Sometimes, they would even request a certain color or the next day.
Once I started working out at Barwis, I could no longer could wear them because they do not support my foot and ankles. Hence, I changed over to the Shelltoes! When we would have a casual dress day, I would wear my white Shelltoes to school. Students would ask why I did not wear my Chuck’s and I told them that those were my, “dress up shoes” and these are my tennis shoes. I owned shell toes back in the day but did not wear them because it was easier to wear my Chuck’s because they are flat and so light.
Awhile back, a friend from high school told me that she remembered me and my “little white shoes.” People at work would also comment on how little my feet were. They are! I can’t help it! I wore a size 3 in Chuck’s (they run big) and a size 4 in Shelltoes.
I write, “wore” instead of, “wear” because since I have not been to Barwis, my feet are turning in a lot more, my right foot turns in and the pinky toe of my right foot hurts a lot! Buying a half size larger give us some my pinky toe room. So, I wear a size 4.5 now! At least for now! I guess I am just getting old!
When Sean I asked about white shoes, I am mediately thought of this movie clip! Watch the video and it is at 2;26 where are you will understand why I thought of, my, “little white shoes”
Sean and I both received a pair of shoes as an early Christmas present. We put the boxes under the tree and this is what they look like!
The picture made me laugh because Sean says that it shows, “My baby shoes.” My shoes are the blue box on top of Sean‘s shoes. I think Sean wore the same size as me when he was in third grade.
