my latest purchase

i got a pair of new balance 475v2 walking shoes, in black.
(i can't get a picture to load, but there are a few pictures & a description at sears.com)

the rather long story/saga is over here at my journal.


so, has anyone else gotten anything new lately they'd like to talk about?


ETA: they squeak. apparently this is an issue with ones with certain ones. the fixes recommend haven't worked for me. i like them, but because of the squeak i will never get new balance shoes again.

New Year, New Mod?

Happy New Year to our subscribers!

Is there anybody on the list who is interested in co-modding this year? My RL commitments have become fairly time consuming and I am not able to lavish as much attention on this community as I would like.

I also welcome any other comments/suggestions for things people would like to see here in 2013.

Thanks!

War Time Wimsy from the Bata Shoe Museum



"These shoes and their matching handbag were purchased at Owens and Elmes in Toronto in 1944 and complimented the appearance of a fortunate woman from Hamilton, Ontario.
