R.I.P.

After more than five years, more than 10 pair of the same style, and walking together through hundreds of piles of poo (literally and figuratively), I was forced to buy a new shoe.
If you know me, you have seen my shoes. No other shoe will compare. My feet will never feel the same. Smell the same.
I wish I had a picture of all the shoes lined up together. Here is my last pair of UMBRO Brazilia's. Forever discontinued by UMBRO.



But Alas, UMBRO has made a new style, The UMBRO Aussie's




So far my feet are in "New Shoe Agony." I am sure we will learn to love each other. As of now, I cannot imagine life without them. Its like the time I dated that girl with terminal brain cancer. We were in love, but knowing she wouldn't be around forever was kind of a relief. I would never have to worry about telling her I had fallen in love with someone else, or couldn't stand the site of her. I loved my shoes until they died.
