I passed by these (male) Adidas running shoes at the mall recently and thought these shoes are becoming works of art nowadays, such beautiful lines, and state of the art fabric.
Husband M and I went for a walk yesterday in unseasonable 'summer' weather, I was wearing only a t-shirt as I peeled my sweater off part way through the walk. When we got to a walkway, there was a large dog accompanied by his owner. I was waiting for the dog to clear the walkway, but the owner assured me it was ok, that the dog was very friendly. He said 'he might just lick you to death though!' I laughed at this and proceeded through the walkway. Then we came upon some kids playing in the park. One of the boys asked if I would like to play with some snakes. I said 'No! Where did you get them from?' 'Just over there' he pointed to the nearby bushes. A young girl was holding one up, and then it started slithering through the sand. M and I went on our way. I wonder if they should have been playing with snakes like that.
I usually just wear the cheapest pair of nikes they have
ReplyDeletehaha can't blame you.
DeleteI always wonder why people spend so much on shoes....I'm glad I didn't get near to those snakes! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThose are the fanciest sneakers I have seen. It is a plus to have such nice weather on a walk. I am sure those snakes weren’t too happy to be handled.
ReplyDeleteYes, todays trainers do come in wonderful colours and designs.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to get out for a walk - I would have left the snakes alone!!!
Enjoy your Sunday
All the best Jan
There are some really nice running shoes these days. Some of them are really expensive!
ReplyDeletewhy must shoes be so expensive a little stuff that could be cheaper without this brand name.
ReplyDeleteNo thank you Shawengge I need not synonymous long or see!
Greetings Elke
holy moly to playing with snakes! :o And very pretty shoes.
ReplyDeleteOMG! They were really playing with the snakes?! I would run a mile if I saw one!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes do have an elegance to them, I like your photos of them. It probably would be better for them not to play with random snakes, on the possibility that some might be venomous...
ReplyDeleteGood point about the snakes Lisa.
DeleteYikes! Snakes in the bushes - no thanks. And I'll pass on the dog too. Been bitten twice so I have no trust. Those sneakers are pretty darn stylish. I don't think I could get my DH to wear them though. He's been wearing the same make and model so long even his friends tease him. But at least he's comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's the same!
DeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteThere was a day when my dearest and I wore expensive running shoes. Would you believe I was a jogger back in the day. My dearest would run the 6K and I would run the 2 mile. They were "fun" runs, and we enjoyed that time of our life. Now I hardly wear tennis shoes...and when I do, they are not expensive..haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these precious memories Wanda!
DeleteEw. Snakes are forbidden here in Hawaii, because they can harm the native birds and foliage.
ReplyDeletethere is only 1 venomous snake in ontario so they were prob ok unless they were from somewhere else. i'd be more worried about the snakes getting hurt, kids tend to not know how to handle them right
ReplyDeleteThank you, your article is very good
