I’m going to sidetrack a bit here and talk about my favorite pair of shoes. Bear with me here. I bought these shoes 2 years ago. I only wear them during cold weather (autumn to spring). However, I ABUSE them almost every time I put them on. I walk through salt-filled puddles, snow, and rain. Once I used them to push mud into tire ruts and totally coated them in the process. Despite this abuse they still shine right up! Sure, there is a bit of leather missing around the top, the fine tread pattern is a little worn, and the shine won’t stay for more than a week but who cares? I’m amazed at how well they have held up. Even the laces are original. Who makes these mighty fine shoes? Sketcher. If my memory serves correctly they cost around $110.
What’s the point of this story? Go buy Sketcher shoes? No. The point is that everyone has their “Sketcher shoes.” Everyone has those small, amazing things that makes life interesting. Once you find your pair of Sketchers enjoy them for all they’re worth. However, don’t dwell on them. I know my shoes will wear out at some point and I’ll move on to my next pair. Something else will take their place as a small amusement. There are plenty of new things out there that can provide the same enjoyment. Always seek them out.
