  • Shoes

    I was working in a warehouse during the summer and driving a passenger van the rest of the year. I purchased a classy pair of soft leather shoes that looked and smelled fantastic. They were luxurious in a way that shoes can be and I enjoyed the way a pair of shoes could make me feel while at school, striding through a city, sitting at a cafe or spending a day at the art museum. If clothes make the man, the same could be said of shoes, in my honest opinion. Those shoes took me everywhere. Walking the Brooklyn Bridge. Strolling through Central Park. I tramped hard in those shoes. One of the best purchases I have ever made. I think because they helped to create in me memories that I will never forget. It is like that with some things in life. You never really forget the things you carried when you climbed that mountain. You always remember what you had in your bag when you set out to see a foreign land.
