Life's Outtakes: Shoes | Opinion - Post Register Posted: 11 Sep 2019 06:00 AM PDT One day when I was in my mid-teens, I was helping an older lady from our community. Leona was a widow and almost 90. She lived alone and still took care of herself. But there was some yard work that was hard for her to do, so my parents would send me to help her now and then. One day when I finished the yard work she needed to have done, she offered me some lemonade. I accepted it gratefully. I wiped the sweat from my face and sat down on her step to enjoy the refreshment. She sat in a lawn chair close to me. Leona was someone who thought deeply about things, and when she spoke, what she said always seemed wise. This occasion was no different. "Daris," she said, "do you know what I like to look at when I look at someone?" I took a sip of lemonade and shook my head. "I like to look at two things," she said. "I like to look at a person's hands and shoes. And do you know why?" Again, I shook my head, so she continued. "You can learn a lot about a person by their hands and their shoes. Take you, for instance. I can see that even though you are a still a very young man, your hands are brown and calloused from hard outdoor work. Your hands show scratches and scars that indicate the work you do must be quite rough. Many boys your age have hands that don't show that kind of work." Leona then pointed at my shoes. "I can see that you are wearing thick, heavy work boots. They are the kind with a steel toe. That indicates the work you do is tough, physical work that might entail a little danger." She chuckled slightly as she continued. "I'm sure you've heard people say not to judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. I say that is a good idea, because you've got a mile head start on them, and you have their shoes." She smiled at me and finished by saying, "But seriously, the next time you meet someone, why don't you see what their hands and shoes can tell you?" I noticed that Leona's hands were wrinkled with age, and her shoes were soft, older-person shoes. As I went home, I thought a lot about what she said. A few days later was our community Fourth of July breakfast. As I ate, my mind was drawn to what Leona said, and I started looking at people's shoes. Most of the farm boys in the community had heavy work boots like mine. But many of the young men who lived in town wore softer tennis shoes. There were ranchers in cowboy boots. There was a banker wearing shiny black dress shoes. There were women in high heels and others in sensible loafers. Some families with little money had shoes that were old and worn. Some shoes were meant to work hard, others were for play, and still others were for dressy occasions. The more I observed, the more diversity I saw. As we ate breakfast, the speaker talked about this great country and how it was built by people from every continent and every background coming together in a common desire for freedom. He said our differences made us strong and resilient, and our similarities made us united. I thought about how the differences in who we were could be seen in something as simple as the types of shoes we wear. It has been many years since Leona talked to me about shoes. She long ago passed from this life, but what she shared with me still lingers in my thoughts. It helps me to consider both the differences and similarities I share with people I meet. It also reminds me that those differences need not be hurdles to harmony, but instead can add variety to friendship. But most of all, it helps me to consider what it might be like to walk for a time in someone else's shoes

Kids’ Character Shoes Are Hotter Than Ever — Here Are 9 Pieces of Proof - Footwear News Posted: 11 Sep 2019 06:30 AM PDT Characters have never been cooler, especially in the kids' shoe business. From classic books to blockbuster movies, the entertainment world's most famous faces continue to front some of footwear's buzziest collaborations. Here are a few standouts. Hunter x Peppa Pig Two British favorites united to "celebrate the joy of muddy puddles" with rainboots and umbrellas featuring the precocious Peppa and her brother, George. The partnership, launched in July, coincided with the release of a two-episode TV special chronicling the porcine siblings' first visit to a music festival (after all, festivals are a regular stomping ground for Hunter).

Simple details such as an earthy yellow suede upper and a lion-silhouette print give the rugged style a cool, safari-inspired vibe. Clarks x Lion King toddler shoe.

The adventure-ready styles included a sandal and an easy-on moc, decorated with Carle's signature bold colors and collage-style illustrations. Teva x The Very Hungry Caterpillar shoe for kids.

In addition to sneakers honoring the four Hogwarts houses, there are must-have styles inspired by the Marauder's Map, the Golden Snitch and other wizardly themes.

She also remains a star for countless collaborations — most recently a capsule of sandals and slip-on shoes from Native. Her Sanrio sidekicks, Badtz-Maru, Keroppi and My Melody, also make a cameo.

Unveiled in August — and quickly snapped up — the limited-edition collab included two kids' styles, one a perfectly imagined take on the lovable sea sponge himself and the other inspired by his best pal, Patrick.

Several footwear labels celebrated the occasion with special collections, among them Adidas, which took a subtler, more abstract approach with colors and details inspired by the toys.

Local business donates shoes to students in the community - WTAP-TV Posted: 10 Sep 2019 02:57 PM PDT PARKERSBURG, W. Va. (WTAP) - Matheny Motors held a drive to collect shoes for the "Kicks for Kids" program. Last year, they had about 120 pairs of shoes donated and this year the amount of shoes more than doubled. For every car sold in the month of August, Matheny Motors also donated a pair of shoes. The Kicks for Kids program started back in 2011 by a teacher that noticed children in her classroom needed new shoes. Randal Price is the manager of Matheny Motors. "An individual from a school, preferably a nurse sees a student at their school that generally has a pair of shoes that are too small,too large, worn out. They would contact the River City Runners and then they would actually give them a pair of shoes to give to that child," said Price. Marta Bailey is the co-director the Kicks for Kids program and a member of the River City Runners and she believes that enough nurses and teachers are taking advantage of the program. "We would like for them to let any student that needs it not to feel like they can't contact us," said Bailey. The shoes are given to students anonymously and are available for any student in the Mid-Ohio Valley in need.
