Vans

62/365
Ollllld shoes. I'd been wearing these nearly every day for the past 3 years, until purchasing a new pair a couple months ago. Unlike most girls, I am NOT addicted to shoes. I remain faithful to the same pair of shoes until they are nearly worn down to nothing (in this case, there was a hole forming in the soles, soaking my socks whenever I walked through water; and the padding in the back was wearing thin, scraping up my achilles when I walked.) These things have been through everything with me. They've taken me places I never thought I would walk, and propelled me into opportunities I never dreamed of. They've also gotten me through tough days and put up with being thrown around in frustration from time to time.

Though I have retired them, I still slip them on every now and then, just for that old awesome feeling of REALLY comfy shoes. =)

Special Holiday post coming tonight/tomorrow. Well, special to me, anyway. Keep an eye out!

  1. Oh Vans, I feel the same way. Shoes should be like a a best friend, worn until they can't be worn anymore. I still have every pair I've ever boughten and still like to wear them.
