I have a pair I purchased in Beijing, China sometime in the late '90's. I needed them to play the organ in one of the largest churches in Beijing. I can't wear them now because of bad knees. But I will never get rid of them because of the memories of that day.

I have always been a shoe lover ! when I was little I was "pigeon toed" and had to wear white high tops on the wrong feet for years...should of had operation to correct it but didn't.......once I got grown and was working I bought all my favorite shoes...all colors, all styles, didn't matter if they were comfortable or not !
Now that I'm older and much wiser, I only buy comfortable sensible shoes, however, I hope to never be without a pair of RED shoes ! Yep, like someone said, that is a perp for being old.
When my children were little I made sure they always had a pair of red shoes; NOW none of them would be caught dead wearing red shoes ! Isn't that funny ?
A few years back I was down sizing and had to get rid of shoes; I think I had 80 pair....mostly were old shoes...had mustard yellow heels; turquoise heels and all in between.....now I have a basic pair of black, navy and red low heels......still love shoes just don't need nor can wear today's styles.

Almost like a basket weave top they are hard to describe but I have never seen a pair since like them and they were so comfortable you could wear them casual or dressy I got them around 1980 and they hardy show any wear. I just wish they fit but I won't get rid of them no matter what.

I saved my black suede knee high boots with a stacked heel in my closet. Then my daughter discovered them. I made her promise to never wear them in the rain, and then I let her have them. She also had to listen to the story of how I ran to Macy's on my lunch hour (12 blocks from my then job) and got them on sale for $19.99 - a steal even in those days. She was also impressed that the stacked heel was really stacked - not some phony looking stack.
