Pair #24- Newborns

These have no story yet; they are too new. And they are too simple to come with anything built in; they don't look like refugees from a disco on Ibiza, nor are they self-possessed, black, red-soled socialites-in-training. I admit that they aren't as interesting as say, Pair #20- but someday, if I wear them as much as I expect to, they will be. They'll get scratched and worn, and look as though they need the shoe version of Botox. Their shine will fade from a spotless glisten to a dull sheen. But they'll have lived- and that's all we can really ask of our shoes, isn't it?
