A beautiful everyday thing, for most people. Walking. Feet to the earth. And in the USA, most of us wear shoes. That, in itself, would be extraordinary for many inhabitants on the planet. It was extraordinary in this country 200 years ago. You walked to church barefoot, and put your shoes on when you got there, keeping them seldom worn so that you could pass them on to your younger siblings. When you had to go out in the chicken yard, you wore wooden shoes.
What do your everyday shoes look like? What do they say about you?
Perfect response to the prompt. My preferred shoes–Sauconny sneakers (sans holes in the bottom). I wear them always unless I have to dress up for something, God forbid. Comfort over style any day for me.
Oh, I love your photos for (extra)ordinary! Absolutely wonderful. It makes me want to take inventory and probably just get rid of most of them. I pretty much wear the ones that are comfortable to death. I’ve found the brands that work best for me and stick to those few pairs.
Fantastic interpretation of the theme Scilla, you can’t get much more ordinary than a pair of shoes, but you have put that thought truly into perspective! 🙂
That little shoe…
…is now hanging from the rear view mirror in my car. My son did wear those, 28 years ago. Thanks for your visit!
I enjoyed your interpretation. My shoes say I walk a lot, care about my back, and prefer comfort, but with class if at all possible.

Sounds like my kinda priorities as well. 🙂

Me, too!
Gardening today…mud on the bottom now.
Yes, the last photo of the little shoe, Extraordinary
I just noticed that the pattern on my ring and the pattern in the rubber edging are similar. I do like those shoes!
Great post and love your images.
Thanks, Jane!

I do want to replace my Keens, otherwise, GoodWill or Payless if I need a basic shoe. No brands required. 😉

Thanks! It’s always about perspective, right?
Most definitely 🙂
