If Shoe Leather Could Talk…..



I bought the pair on the right in 2006 in preparation for our first trip to Europe. Friends invited us to go with them to London and Paris. What a wonderful first trip across the "Pond"! We walked, and walked and walked.

My shoes went in the suitcase for trips to Ireland and back to France. They covered my feet on countless walks with Fenway. They were on five on RV trips covering western states and southern states and southwest states. They just finished tromping across sections of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in Canada. Then they covered my feet for strolls as we stopped to visit family and friends in New England and down to Maryland.

At the start of this most recent excellent adventure I realized the shoes were pretty warn. The inside lining was worn and tearing in spots and the heels were wearing thin on the outside edges. Time for a new pair.

But here's to my shoes - thanks to them for supporting me on wooded trails, providing comfort on pavement and cobblestone! A good pair of walking shoes - if only shoe leather could talk.
