The perfect pair of new shoes


Ethan needed new shoes...not a surprise there. He isn't much into athletic shoes like Nike, or New Balance but he loves canvas sneakers. He usually has ones like Keds or Vans, or some facsimile of. Well, if you have priced kids shoes lately you know that it is not surprising to find that they are around $20 a pair at their cheapest, and that was at Target. So we figured we would pay a little more and get him a good pair that might last just a little longer. He found a pair of Chuck Taylors, you know those good old Converse sneakers. If you've never seen a boy fall in love with a pair of shoes than you should have been there!! A couple of days after he told me that they where the best shoes he had ever had and that he never wanted any other kind of shoe the rest of his life. Can't you just see him as one of those funny guys who wears a suit and Converse All Stars! Sure makes the price you have to pay worth it!

There is nothing wrong with that. I have a pair of high top chuck taylors and they look mighty fine with a suit.
