“These shoes have walked some strange streets.”
So, these shoes. These giant shoes that I found hanging on a stop sign on Fabrication Avenue in Dallas. Goodness.
You may recall how I sometimes link photos with seemingly-random lyrics (usually from Bruce Cockburn). The only surprise here is that the Cockburn lyrics that came to mind here could actually apply to these shoes: These shoes have walked some strange streets. (from “The Gift.”)
Also, later that very same day, guess who I saw in concert? Bruce Cockburn. Did he play “The Gift” that night? Yes, he did. I love it when stuff like this happens.

PS: If you want to see these shoes in color, head over to my Instagram (I’m melgal) and scroll down a ways. You’ll probably easily spot the image…

Silence is golden regarding those shoes. Good find as usual.

There was a street-repair crew just arriving while I was there. The foreman came over and asked me what I knew about all the graffiti on the buildings, and he said, “I’m a little nervous to read it.” After I photographed these shoes, my Patient Spouse reported that almost all of the street crew used their phones to take pictures of the shoes. I felt bad for them – how were they to know that my example is not usually a good one to follow…!

I know! I break some hips (mine, for sure, and probably someone else’s too) if I tried to walk in shoes like that. In fact, I nearly fall over just THINKING about it!

I just learned this interesting fact – at high school proms around here, the girls wear the highest heels possible, but of course can’t walk in them all night, So there’s a “shoe check” that’ll keep their shoes until it’s time to leave. How about that?!
