Sneakin’ Around -- the Shoes of Summer

Summertime and the dressing is easy.  What’s better than barelegged?  Adorable shoes that complement those legs!  Here are the familiar, cute and comfortable shoes that will be my summer weekend staples.

Red Keds Champions--the classic sneaker that evokes childhood memories of tricycling around the neighborhood, endangering life and limb on roller skates, eating hot dogs and ribs at family barbecues, and visiting my grandmother’s cheery little house.  My mom bought me a pair of red Keds when I was a toddler.  She said that the first day I wore them I tottered around all day with a goofy little grin, eyes glued to my sneakers.  Love at first step. 

Silver gray Chuck Taylors--another signature shoe in my wardrobe. Chucks bring out my inner tomboy and are universally cool.  These are the shoes I'll be wearing when I'm 101 years old.

I absolutely LOVE it. One might have expected a towering-high pair of strappies that have many of our counterparts careful tipping down the street. So I was relieved to fun a photo of these adorable, tried-and-true friends from summer of days past. Thanks for the smile and the memories....
