Good gawwd! Keds? Really? You know how bad they made your feet smell back then? I guess I hated them because mom always got them two sizes too big so I could grow into them. Problem with that was they always wore out when I had only grown one size. Were they OK to wear if they fit? I bet I had five pairs and never knew. | ||

I would wear em for 7-8 months every day till the soles wore through and yes they were stinky but they could just throw em in the washing machine when mom couldn't take em anymore | ||

Yea Brumbs, they have always existed as far as I recall, not hard to get either! I never wore them because I never found any that fit, but I got friends that do. | ||

I had a pair of Converse that were high tops. Bright yellow and you could pull the high top over to make a low top. The inside of the high top was a bright blue. Awesome... | ||

Now you can only wear BK if you're a rapper. And they only come in white I miss the old Pumas with the 2 velcro straps. Why don't they use velcro on shoes anymore? I loved that. ~SM |
