a peculiar shoe

now then

something of a brief break from all these posts what i plan (or intend) to do in respect of my New Zealand odyssey. which may, or may not, be quite nice for the dozen or so people what come here for a gander. off back to London (innit) with me, look you see, and as the title suggests a quite strange bit of abandoned footwear. 

for one reason or another - and there could be several - items of abandoned footwear seem to be a reasonably popular thing for me to share here. my assumption is that there's an existing fan base for such things, be it related to fetish or sheer curiosity. under no circumstanced do i believe (or think) that i began any sort of trend, but all the same i am delighted to contribute to it all, if not perpetuate. 

this item of footwear was spotted down in Ealing. for those who require some sort of specifics, i saw it in reasonably early February, not long after i had completed the longer return leg of my recent odyssey. as you can see above, in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode, it is anything but a standard sort of item what one would place on their foot. maybe one cannot see it all of that in the above, but there is a more regular sort of image below. 

with regards to things what i document on a regular basis here i suppose i'd best go and do a car wash again some time soon. not sure when the last time was that i posted one here. recently, i suppose, as i vaguely recall doing it all in VHS mode. no i am not searching and linking any other shoe or car wash things what i have gone done, feel free to look yourself. 

what struck me most about this one is that it's not exactly easy to immediately determine (or even ascertain) if this item of footwear is designed for a left or right foot. instinct, on the basis of straps, suggests it is right, but it could also be left. it looks like it has a deceptively elaborate means of being rather well secured to a foot, which makes it all the more unusual that it was abandoned. perhaps, maybe, it was so that someone wasn't actually wearing it, and it got dropped or fell out of some bag. oh dear, if so. 

it is entirely possible that i, of late, have seen a few things abandoned and not documented them. now that i think there was the odd left trolley here and there i saw in New Zealand, but i was ostensibly on holiday and so did not take any image. well, anyway, there's a splendid item of footwear for you. and more shall no doubt follow as and when i see such things. 

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