Daddy Wants a New Pair of Shoes

Walking through Capitol Hill, you'll see plenty of strange things. One strange thing I have seen on a number of occasions are random pairs of shoes with no human in them. It's like they got beamed back to Starship Enterprise but left the skids behind.

This pair of beauties was in the alley of my apartment building right next to a telephone pole. Since black goes with everything, obv, they didn't last long and had disappeared when I returned home later that day.



Here's another pair that I saw on the sidewalk near Bender's:

Again, decent condition and even a little stylish if you've got Joey Kinney's taste. Another bargain hunter made off with these babies as they too were gone when I walked by a short while later.

It's interesting that shoes, being the extremely functional tools that they are, will always find a pair of feet to take them around, regardless of whether they come from, whether it's Saks or a sidewalk.
