My progression….
-Best shoes go with the best clothes.
-Shoes that match casual wear. Sweatshirts, hoodies, tee shirts. Appropriate enough.clothing where I more or less match.
-Dogwalkers. Maybe a quick run to the store. That is it.
-Yard Work Status. Raking leaves, mowing lawn, picking up and burning of leaves and branches.
-River shoes. Two or three times a year, I set my butt in an inner tube and float down a lazy River and drink beer. The river slowly eats them away until the start to come apart. Once they get to that point….
-The Last Ride. Thank them for their dedication to serving my feet all those year, give them one more ride down the river, and they the get buried.
