Hand-me-downs from the 2010's
Hello there folks. I have a lot of hand-me-downs from my sister, who wore them when she was a teenager circa 2010, with whom I share shoe sizes. Since I began transitioning from female to male I've already either parted with or worn to tear most of the clothes, but shoes, being more unisex and resilient items than fabric, remained here with me.
So today my friend told me "your fit is nice, but your shoes are trolling you", to which I realized "shit, you're right".
Specifically I have:
- red plimsolls that give or take look like that, but are Polo (probably mock) instead. Mostly intact but there's a leather strip on the back of one shoe that is worn down.
- these coke plimsolls that are beige with this silver glitter-like thing. The coke bottle from the other side of the pair has fallen down and I'd need to probably buy some star strass and use super glue to fix.
- these sandals, which are just dirty but otherwise fine, but I don't use them.
- these sock shoes. The tip of the sole is detached from the body of the shoe so I'd need to check someone out to fix that.
- (sorry for the ass lighting) the black chuck taylor, which was my favourite shoe on the list. Until the bottom sole gave up, so now I'd also need to look for someone to fix them.
- these charcoal velcro sandals which are worn out on the tip.
- the blue running sneakers that aren't a hand-me-down, I bought them for myself to exercise. They're perfectly fine. I don't wear them if I'm not exercising though.
And then I realized that, aside from two flip-flops, that's the entirety of my shoe wardrobe ( :xd: ), and half of it is unwearable because the shoes are broken ( :xd: ).
