so that you may better understand how little it takes to amuse me...
i love this.
it reminds me of the classic kicks i purchased in seventh grade...
my dad called them my 'ronald mcdonalds.'
(this was only slightly less amusing to me than when he later dubbed my birkenstocks 'barney rubbles.')
i remember wearing them with the tops folded down and various styles of scrunchy socks.
in retrospect i realize that the feeling of coolness i experienced was exponentially higher than my actual coolness quotient.
is there an adored bit of footwear in your history that inspired such feelings?
do tell.

oh yes. chunky black combat boots! they were so cool when i was in ninth grade, when the grunge look was popular and 'my so-called life' was on tv. ahh, the mid-nineties.. i thought i was something in those boots!
jackiebean...ah yes, i had those boots during my freshman year in college. i often paired them with a red plaid schoolgirl skirt, a black turtleneck, and lots of liquid black eyeliner. :P
I so get this! "in retrospect i realize that the feeling of coolness i experienced was exponentially higher than my actual coolness quotient." Hysterical.
I, with my huge feet, sadly do not have a particular shoe memory. I did have Doc Martens once. Not those great combat boots, though--the oxfords. I don't even think they were cool. I was always way behind the Cool Curve and I've only slightly caught up as an adult. :)

I had some chuck taylor green lowtops in high school. I was constantly drawing and doodling random stuff on them . . . ah. The memories. I'm sure I wasn't nearly as cool as I felt doing all that, but I'm ok with that. ;)
rachelle...sadly, i was always wayyyy behind the cool curve but was thoroughly convinced that i was rocking the cool curve. :P
skooks...i always felt that people who drew on their chucks were extra cool.
