shoesI did something I hadn’t done since 1999 the other day. I bought a new pair of shoes. Even though they aren’t exactly the same (see how there is no ridge around the toe) they are pretty similar.

One thing you might notice is that the new shoe seems bigger than the old shoe. It is. The old shoes were too small. But I still wore them for 7 years because they had gone out of style and I don’t like new styles of shoes.

I still have my brown pair of shoes that look alike, and I even have a back-up pair of brown shoes in a box. I thought the back up pair was black, which would have negated the need to buy my new pair, but when I looked at them the other day I saw they were brown.
