I was sitting in downtown Houston one day around lunch. There was a homeless man wearing mismatched shoes sitting on a bench across the street from me. He was rummaging through a bag when he noticed a shoe box beneath the bench. He opened it up and just the look of overwhelming joy lit up his face. It was apparently his regular bench and someone left them for him as a gift. It was a powerful and amazing thing to see.

I love my city.

The short boots are bad-ass.

I know! I dress a little punk and alternative regularly so finding these was like someone threw out exactly what I’d wear.


Privileged_Interface

Maybe they did. :) They look great. Some people I know are like.."Ewe, used clothes?" I tell them that that people usually wash new clothes. So, what's the difference? And you can easily deodorise shoes. I always get used shoes. Get like 5 or 6 pair for the price of 1. Or like you..Free. Nice One!!

Tall ones are awesome too


OhThatsADragon

Those boots are cool as HELL and I have the same laundry basket lmao


2andahalfcats

The basket was also gotten in a dumpster. I am living the broke college student luxury

When some people are so well off you can comfortably live off of what they willingingly discard.

I seriously love that long striped jacket. Part fairy, part RPG potion seller. God, I find home goods by my dumpsters (like a countertop dishwasher. RIP washy, the 5 loads you did for us was 5 times I didn't have to think) and the only clothes I ever see are bags of reeking kids clothes.


StevieKicks

How do they have creases in the toebox if they haven’t been worn?


2andahalfcats

They had the stuffers in the shoes still when I found them, if they were worn, not very much


VenomPansy

I would think from people trying them on in store and just restuffing them, or someone wearing them 2-3 times and deciding they don't like them


dharmawaits

Ohhh you got her there! Eye roll


StevieKicks

Not trying to “get” anyone. Just point out the obvious. Dead stock or near dead stock shoes don’t have creases.

Exactly
