Too cute!Do you remember these ?.. I had these when I was very small..and I also had these..
...when Daughter was just starting to walk I bought her her first made to measure leather shoes from Clarks.. they were a baby size 3... and she wore them while learning to walk so the toes of course were scuffed.. but I kept those first shoes, and this is them 45 years old now..![]()

those ones are from Select!!2nd shelf up from the bottom, I have the exact same gold and white shoes![]()
Just curious. Leather or canvass? I remember high school, we had to have 1 pair of clean athletic shoes for class. They had to be white canvas and tie-on only, meaning no slip-on. Do you remember the price? I wore Adidas only because our football cleats were Adidas. I think they cost about $30this is totally what we kids had to wear to play out as well as for Gym,... kids whose parents were more well off got to wear white ones..

Yes, shoes, I have them and wear them. You go first!including all seasons of the year.![]()
Exactly. Same here.5. That's all I need. Shoes don't, and never did bring me joy. I'd rather not wear any at all.
Crikey, Horsey, a tribe of octopuses could be shod with yours and Mrs Horsey's collection.View attachment 243105

These are a few of my own shoes, there's a few more, well, a lot more. But men don't own up to having Imelda Marcos syndrome.
Sorry Timoc, I meant to respond then it slipped my mind. This getting old malarkey can be annoying.Crikey, Horsey, a tribe of octopuses could be shod with yours and Mrs Horsey's collection.![]()
I still like that style. Neat and comfortable. Haven't seen them in many years, though.this is totally what we kids had to wear to play out as well as for Gym,... kids whose parents were more well off got to wear white ones..

I'm a big fan of plain loafers and penny-loafers, too. Impossible to find in stores, and waaaay too expensive online.I have way too many shoes, probably compensatory buying caused by the fact that as a kid my parents would buy me only one pair prior to the beginning of each school year that was expected to last until the next year. That, and a pair of what were then called sneakers that were only to be used in gym class or after school.
I’m partial to loafers, including penny loafers and other slip-ons. Kids today tend to own only costly “athletic shoes” endorsed by overpaid pro athletes and rappers. I’ve actually had kids look at my traditional leather shoes and question, “What are they?”![]()
Back in the early 80s, a 16-year-old neighbor (male) told me about a knock-off brand called World Cup. Said it was the most popular shoe in the area. As he was VERY fashion-conscious, I took his word for it and bought a couple of pairs.I remember when Van's were big with the teen crowd back in the 80's. They were fairly expensive. My daughter wanted a pair and I broke down and bought her a pair of the black-and-white-checkerboard design. She was over the moon.
Then I found out that the girl next door had 27 pairs of them in her closet and was always bugging her mother for more. I appreciated my daughter all the more for being so happy with one pair.
they're still available.. I have that exact style, but not in white or black.. but various colours through lemon to Red.. in a box under my bed..unworn... bought about 10 years ago.. and I keep meaning to donate themI still like that style. Neat and comfortable. Haven't seen them in many years, though.
