Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

My absolute most favorite shoes ever were purchased sometime in the 80’s. They were the most expensive shoes I had ever owned and I was so proud of them. I wore them everywhere! They were my work shoes, my casual shoes, my dancing shoes… I LOVED THOSE SHOES!!!
One day after work, I went to a friends house for cocktails. We both kicked off our shoes in the living room and proceeded to pour a couple glasses of wine and make ourselves comfortable. As we set about making our plans, the house became strangely quiet. The dog had disappeared..
“I wonder where the dog went?”
“I’m sure he’s fine, don’t worry about it.”
And we proceeded to talk about our day, make our plans for the evening, laugh and share as the minutes ticked by….
We eventually made our plans, put away our glasses and headed out to the living room to collect our shoes and head out for our “night on the town”.
“Where’s my other shoe?” I ask.
We proceed to look under chairs, sofas, etc.. while I proceed to wail it out… “Those are my favorite shoes! I LOVE those shoes!”
We make our way to the kitchen, and…
The shoes are ruined, the night is ruined, the dog is banished, and I NEVER even got an apology… AND our plans for the night were canceled since I had no shoes to wear!
NEVER, EVER leave your favorite shoes on the floor of a house that owns a dog!
