My father used to sandpaper the bottom to scuff them up.

@SharkE   One of the Catholic Churches I go to on occasion for funerals and weddings has a priest who has waist length hair pulled into a low pony tail and he wears a beard and sandles during Mass with his vestments.

I guess he is mirroring Jesus.  The first time I saw him I was shocked.  I don't care now.  He marches to the beat of his own drummer.

@Carmie A lot of things of the past are no more, but now that everyone can be whomever they truly are is a good thing, a blessing.

I'm Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. That's my dog Tige, he lives there too.

Yes, and did a lot of x-rays. Hopefully,  no long term effect.

lol. Thinking back as a kid we would go Easter shopping every year. Hat, white shoes, ankle socks with the lace trim , the duster coat, dress. All beautiful matching pastel colors oh and the tiny pocketbook. We didn't have a lot of money back then but my gramma made sure we went to church in our Easter clothes. She was our hero. Miss you gram.

oh who remembers polishing those white shoes with that shoe polish with the sponge tip. Lol

When I went to Beauty School we had to wear those white nurses shoes and I remember polishing my shoes every night with that shoe polish with the sponge tip.  We had to start each day with our shoes perfectly polished.

@branny,

My grandmother did the exact same thing. I could have written your same post!
