052 Shoes

Object: Gray gym shoes

Acquired: 2006

From: Khol's I think, oddly enough. Mom bought them for me

Notes: These were supposed to be one of the last pairs of shoes mom ever bought me, but that didn't last. I got them just before heading out to my Outdoor ed job the first time, although I was still very, very attached to my old pair of tennis shoes, and these never quite managed to replace them. You can see a color change where my extra long pants tend to hide part of the shoes from the dust.
  And I should mention that they are only in such good condition because I hardly ever wear them; I've converted to hiking boots and never looked back.

The bead-things hanging on the shoes are "IALAC beads" which are a little gift we give to the kids in Outdoor Ed at the end of each week so they can remember all the fun they had. Some weeks the teachers get them, too.
