I love these old shoes. If you look through my portfolio you will be able to see them in several images. The kids love wearing them. They are a part of my mini costume collection I have for our plays & musicals. I believe they have been worn in seven different shows. We're going to have to retire them soon - they are really showing the wear and tear.
If shoes can have personality, you've captured this pair's here. Nice job capturing some of the details (though I wish I could see the tongue! (or lack thereof)) and scuff marks.
If the shoe fits, share it. It's nice to have more than one view of the character that they have now.
Good end result, and thank you for sharing the story behind the shoes.
it would be a real shame to 'retire' these shoes .. they have so much personality .. they are such an excellent design .. i would love to have worn shoes like that but i have particularly thin ankles and they'd look funny .. cant you just give them a make-over ???!!! ... you wont get anything like these ever again .. :)
