left shoe

hello there


this will all be a quite welcome return for some of you, to be sure. well, if no one else, then Codename : Magic shall be happy, look you see. he, in his most discerning and infinite wisdom, was always quite the fan of posts such as this. and this post is, but of course, concerning abandoned footwear.

left shoes is, as it happens, quite the apt description for all of this. not only is it that the trend of abandoning quality (kind of) footwear in public back, but it is back with the weirdly specific emphasis being on the left shoes being selected to be discarded. both of the most popular definitions of the word "left" are, then, on display here.

but yes, seeing is believing, etc. and so with no further delay, bar this sentence, here is a glimpse of one of the left left shoes.

indeed, yes, this was spotted, or if you will sighted, at one of the industrial wastelands which occupy any number of areas in the north. no, quite, indeed, this shoes is decidedly not industrial in nature. whereas i am no expert, i would suggest that anyone who wore such shoes to work in an industrial setting or environment would be reprimanded and admonished by the appointed health and safety representative for the industrial concern.

the question of why people - ladies, i dare to speculate - are leaving singular, solitary shoes at random is one that is far too complex for me to answer. if it is all some sort of misguided attempt to evoke the mythology of Cinderella, then i would be confident enough to argue it shall not work, for it is rather unlikely that any sort of prince charming character would be in such a place to find it.

a problem which has blighted, if not dogged, much of western civilisation for most of the twentieth century is the plot flaw found in Cinderella. if we are to accept that the glass slipper (or whatever) was indeed the "perfect fit" for the ostensible protagonist, then how is it exactly it fell off in the first place?

no, not from an industrial wasteland, in answer to your question about the above. more of a conventional, suburban environment, some twenty or so miles away from the first image. but, still, another left left shoe, and one which would appear to have been designed for use by the ladies of the world.

i shall, of course, keep a (relatively) keen eye out for further such instances of left shoes for you, be they left or right. would it not be quite smart if, by some miracle, i found the right shoe which went with either or both of those pictured here?

well, anyway, that's that. may it be the case that all of you crazy, wonderful people what are enthusiastic about sightings of abandoned footwear be pleased with this.





be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
