Post Modern Shoe

Yesterday I was at Sears with Kelly and her grandmother. Betty needed some shoes for working out. 94 years old and going to the gym! While browsing the racks(Sears was a complete mess at 7 pm on a Sunday. No one puts anything back in the right place.) I saw a shoe made by Skechers. The tread and the materials of the upper were just like those of a tennis or running shoe. But the cut and shape was that of a dress shoe, a ballet flat it could be called. The hierarchy has fallen. Certain materials are no longer just for certain functions of shoe. But could you have a running shoe with a leather sole?

I am waiting for the denim tuxedo.
