Road Shoes

posted by admin

I have discussed this at great lengths with my friends, and we want to know what’s going on with “Road Shoes”? Well, that’s what I call them anyway…

Have you ever been driving down the road, and on the side of the highway there is ONE shoe on the side of the road? We see that ALL the time. I understand seeing road-kill, various forms of furniture, or even a pair of shoes. I just don’t understand how ONE got there. It’s not just one kind of shoe either. We have seen work boots, sandals, running shoes, dress shoes… and there is always JUST one shoe.

So how does this happen? I have a few theories.

You are a one legged man/woman, and you bought this new pair of shoes. You know you don’t need the other one so you just throw it out the window?

You have road rage like me, and the guy in front of you won’t get over so you take off one of your shoes and throw it out the window at his car?

Your friend gets mad at you, grabs your shoe and throws it out the window?

You are hanging your foot out the window while riding in your friend’s car, and you shoe falls off?

Or maybe there is a shoe fairy sprinkling random shoes along the side of the road just so I would have something to blog about… I dunno.

I think I am going to take pictures of these shoes, and create a coffee table book called “Road Shoes” What do you think?

    I would read that book.

    You know what else I don’t get? A pair of shoes hanging from the telephone wires. Why? And how do they toss them up there to perfectly hang?

    I would buy that book! I DO know a little something about Road SOCKS, however, because one time when my car was broken down at a corner in a scary part of town… this car let out a guy who I assume was a hitchhiker, he walked to a little store about 3 blocks away and then came back & sat in this little corner lot covered in trees to eat & drink and be merry or whatever.
    Then he took off his shoes and socks… and threw the socks aside onto the ground. Got a new pair out of the sack he’d brought back from the store & put ‘em on, then walked back up the ramp to the highway.
