Random shoe ads from my childhood days. I loved brown leather loafers/oxfords, (Penny Loafers are my lifelong love) and I loved shiny patent leather. The red shoe in the ad above was my favorite style, (next to Penny Loafers) though I would have preferred it in brown. Oh, and I also loved shoes with kilts! Actually I loved all good leather shoes in just about any color. I have loved shoes for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl, there was no toy in the world I loved more than I loved a pretty new pair of shoes. New shoe day was an event of epic proportions in my young life, just as it still is today. Oh, how I LOVE new shoe days!
