it's a sad, sad day... 03/27/2010
 These shoes are tore up! TORE UP! But I love them. :) I will concede that nice new shoes do have their place in the world but nothing makes me happier than looking down at my feet in a pair of ratty vans. I especially love these ones. So many memories. I bought them just after a trip to Bear Lake and wore them for the rest of the summer, I wore them in Rexburg until the piles of snow became too deep, they accumulated the majority of their rips from learning to longboard, they came with me to SF, were there as I discovered the city, and they were my call to the bliss of summertime as I returned to the frozen tundra of eastern Idaho. But sadly, I must retire them. It's some sort of corporate b.s., changes in the company, restructuring, call it what you like, it is a forced retirement. If I had my choice I would wear them until they were literally in pieces and needed tape to keep them on my feet (remember those ones mom?). While this particularly pair is still more or less structurally intact if you had a view of the inside soles you would see that they are worn thin. So sadly they cause excruciating pain after just a few hours of adventures, and I must finally admit their demise. I will miss you, thanks for traveling with me on many a lugvely day.
