Ugly Shoes

I was in the attic at my parents house, searching for vintage goodies to sell on ebay. I came across some interesting stuff... Some old school reports, a collection of sweatbands, letters, LA Gears... After some lengthy rummaging I sat back to admire my findings. I scanned the room one last time before exiting with my valuable treasures... I spotted a vintage stereo c1970s, Readers Digest books, suitcases, The Big Yellow Teapot, a scary looking doll, Mamas & Papas 12"... and SHOCK HORROR behind me are a pair of my shoes, but not just any old shoes, damn UGLY shoes circa '96. I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't imagining it. They were truly awful. They were yellow and black, with a bulbous front like something Mickey Mouse or a clown would wear, oh and extreeemely chunky. Thinking back, those beasts did turn heads (mostly OAP heads) and obviously not in a positive way. I remember my mum recoiling in disgust. What was I thinking? Probably "Oh these boring-loafer-wearing-normal-people don't understand. I'm unique." Unique I sure was. Funny thing is, I wear loafers these days.
