These are my oldest pair of shoes Ive ever had. Ive had these Vans since I was in 8th grade. But some how they are still with me, I don’t know how But they’re here. A lot of people Keep telling me “throw them away” or “get a new pair of shoes,you have a job!!” or “you look like a hobo with those shoes” and so forth. though people say that, I don’t listen to them. I don’t listen to them Because maybe I don’t want to get a new pair of shoes,or maybe I’m saving my money for something else, or maybe I like to look like a hobo (honestly I look more like a hipster With these shoes) But the point is, I’m keeping these for as long as i can. Because these shoes have been through so much in the past 5 years. I love these shoes, they describe who I am, a little rough on the edges but it gets the job done. But I will never throw these Vans away. EVER. :)
