I have had these green
Adidas sandals since the 6
th grade when I started playing competitive soccer. No, my feet have not grown since then! It is extremely frowned upon to walk on anything but grass or turf with your soccer
cleats so you need to have sandals to slip your feet in and out of quickly. I also used them for
cheerleading and basketball because you don't want to wear your cheer shoes or basketball shoes outside! Now days I just wear them because I like them! Well, the other night I was on my way to the
YW activity and put my sandals on.
Jaron looked at them and said..."we really need to buy you some new sandals, those aren't looking very good." My response was to tell him they were fine and I loved them so I didn't want to get new ones. Well, at the activity I was gently tapping the floor with the tip of my toe and all the sudden my foot was on the floor. I thought my sandal must have slid off my foot and when I went to pick it up this is what I found!
No joke! Just a little mindless toe tapping and my entire shoe just completely fell apart! When I came home I was so so so so sad, I seriously was about ready to cry...
Jaron immediately started laughing in amazement, and said..."good thing I agreed to buy you new ones before they fell apart, huh? I guess that's what happens when you have shoes for 15 years..." I'd have to say, I'm still really sad that my sandals are now in the trash. You have to admit, I sure got my money's worth out of those wonderful shoes! Thanks DAD!
One last picture with my Beloved Sandals. Goodbye old friends...

so sad.. that is crazy they fell apart right after your husband's comment!
they have been with you a long time eh? well, hopefully you can find some that work just as well!
I hate losing a favorite pair of shoes but what a great excuse to shop! Take Jaron up on that offer and buy yourself a VERY nice replacement=)
Crazy, I still remember those sandels!! I had some black and white adidas sandels that are similar and brandon ALWAYS tells me how ugly they are...but I wont get rid of them either! I think I got them in the 7th or 8th grade. Hopefully mine still have a few more years in them!
