My Father's Shoes

My Father's Shoes

1976

These are a pair of shoes given to me by my father. Years ago when he was looking through his old things he stumbled upon these. These shoes were acquired by him when he was about 18 making them at least 40 years old. My dad got these shoes from his family run department store which he dreamed of taking over. After college my dad did take over these stores for some time and moved on to a different job years later. These shoes are meaningful to me because they meant a lot to my father and he took such good care of them that he could pass them on to me 40 years later.
