I remember pink and blue patten shoes. I always wanted a pair. My mother sewed all my clothes. I had a sailor collar dress one Easter. Red patten shoes and purse were my accessories. The dress had a matching coat.

I am going to tell my story about Black Patent Leather

shoes ....

I had to wear brownish red buster borwns .. there was a

girl in my grade at school that got to wear Black Patents

everyday ... my mother said they would ruin my feet ..

I was so envious ... I'm 77 and this was 4th grade and

I still think about that ...

 I was in the third grade and begged for a pair of black patents when I needed school shoes. My mother resisted, but gave in to my begging.

My siblings and I would go to the shoe repair shop and get small taps put on the heals of the shoes. It didn't take long for me to realize that dress shoes were not the best for playing on our asphalt playground. Memories!

Oh I remember the black and white oxford

shoes, that I used for brakes when I was riding my bike, I hated those shoes, just couldn't wear them out. That's why my mother bought them, she was very thrifty.

Does anyone remember getting their first pair of high heels? I was about 13 and my father was very opposed to it. My mother finally persuaded him. The heels actually were not very high.
