I don't blog often, but on a recent shopping trip with friends I certainly added some laughter to our trip! We were in for two long days of shopping. The first morning-- I was walking along and felt like I had something stuck on the bottom of my shoe, like gum or tape. I tried to wipe it off but to no avail! I finally looked at the bottom of my shoe to find that I had a
"small" hole in my sole.

The day started out with my soles perfectly in tact... then the
"laying of a rubber trail began!" When I first looked at it, only a small piece of rubber had fallen off, but as the day went on it grew to a big part of the sole gone! I would walk and leave little pieces of rubber along the way. We were all laughing hysterically. I knew I could find my way home from the trail!
Other than feeling like a piece of gum was stuck on my shoe... our shopping was not deterred. I bought these shoes to wear to London one year and have worn the tar out of them on long days of walking because they are so comfortable... but I think it's time to retire them and shop for a new pair of shoes!
To add to the story, we stopped to eat that evening and found a shoe repair store next door...

| Shame... it wasn't open! |
By the end of the day, both soles were falling off... needless to say 2nd day I wore a different pair of shoes.

| Now that's some heavy duty shopping! |
