… There are many like them, but these ones are mine!
I got my beloved Converse Allstars exchanged yesterday as they were falling apart after only three month. Although it’s nice getting something for nothing I can’t help but fell it’s a hollow victory. As tatty as they were my old shoes were certainly mine. All the little marks and scuffs on them all had stories behind them and there dirty and tatty appearance just added to their charm. In December I sat here in a similar situation with the brand new shoes. Over three months those shoes went with me everywhere and had the wear to show this. Anyway, now I’ve got a brand new pair for another three months of chaos back at uni. Who knows what marks will be on them then?
