I have a beautiful pair of knee high Doc Martens, purchased in the middle of Pritchard Park,back in 2002, from a little gutter punk girl.20 bucks later, she toddled off barefoot with cash for beer(no worry about the shoes..mommy and daddy would cough up another pair), and I had an almost new pair of boots.Unfortunatly,they aren’t good beach shoes,so they live in my closet for most of the year now.Daily foot wear here consists of either tennis shoes,bare feet,or the occasional pair of high heels,which inevitbly will be left on the beach after a night of drinking.(my watering hole of choice is beachfront..hard not to wander outside in the summer and lay on the sand).
Crocs are of of the devil.Same thing goes for those high heeled sneaker things that were so popular for awhile.
Teva-like sandals or barefoot when it’s warm. Hiking boots or these slip on shoes that I don’t know what to call the rest of the year (not Crocs). Dock Marten dress shoes and Chuck Taylors wait in the closet with my flip flops.
Since I’m afraid of causing too much damage to my the new shingles I had put on the house around 6 years ago, I will wear some sandals when I have to go up there to clean chimneys or gutters, etc.,. Usually just the Tevya kind for fiddling on the roof.
