Earth Shoes

it has been more than 25 years since i wore earth shoes and now i have these :

they are really comfortable / soft leather uppers and linings and innersoles too

when i had earth shoes in the 70's i wore the sandals / they were thick slabs of wood with leather straps

i lived in new york city / the east village / earth shoes with their depressed heels were ideal for walking on cement / i could walk miles in comfort / they are kind of wierd when you walk on real earth which already goes down at the heels so after i moved to topanga in southern california i never wore them anymore

i kinda wish i had those sandals for old times sake / smile / they must look like hippie relics today

i dont walk all that much on cement here in the high desert / i havent worn these new ones outside yet / i am not ready to give up sandals and close in my feet for the winter / we are not even finished with autumn / i am breaking them in slowly by wearing them around the house in the morning instead of slippers which i dont have anyway

when i was younger it never occured to me to break in shoes slowly / on saturday we would go shoe shopping for high heeled party shoes to wear that night ! gad / what a painful experience that was / too bad it takes so long to get smart and then when you are you dont wear high heels anymore

well, not since the Rolfing
