But they were on sale!

I went shopping. I was only going to buy sensible things that I can wear to work.
And I looked at shoes. Sensible shoes.
I guess I just don’t like sensible shoes.
So I bought cute heels instead.
Oops.
Here in Katie’s Head
These shoes loved me back

These shoes saw me through my first three years of college, and as you can see, they’re not in shape for a fourth. They were there through the boyfriends, parties, finals, concerts and misadventures and somehow tossing them in the trash seems a little unceremonious for my most beloved of shoes.
So they get a eulogy before they meet the dumpster.
I remember the day I bought these shoes. It was after being forced to spend an unbearable amount of time in Abercrombie with a friend. According to the box, they are “oil green,” and I have never seen another pair in the same color. I still have the box, too, and it’s full of other stupid things I won’t throw away.
When I wore them for the first time, I remember receiving compliments on them from homeless men who were particularly impressed with the color. Chuck Taylors; the favorite shoes of indie kids and homeless people.
And now, after three years and eight days, I am officially retiring my chucks.
