Look at the sole on his shoes.

Looks like his shoes are doing what the economy is doing....
Wearing thin...



Ha ha, I crack myself up

I feel the mans pain. I have shoes I just wont give up.

Me too, Steve! I finally found a decent-looking shoe I can wear all day (which for me works out to about 12 hours x 6 days x 50 weeks). Fortunately I've been able to get several pairs and all seem about the same. New Balance, believe it or not. Can't fault the man for wearing comfortable shoes!

I had a pair of shoe that were literally falling off. The girls at work teased me about them so much. I finally found a place that had the same shoe!

I love the New Balance sneakers because they come in a bunch of wide widths.

New Balance are the best. Last forever and damn comfortable.

The phot is not recent. It was taken in mid-2008.

Okay, I know this has been all over the Internet lately, but it just means so much to me, for whatever reason.

Original caption reads: Senator Obama was doing press interviews by telephone in a holding room between events. Sometime later as he was getting ready to begin his event, he asked me if I was photographing his shoes. When I said yes, he told me that he had already had them resoled once since he entered the race a year earlier. Providence, R.I., 3/1/2008.

But report are that he is anything but a clothes horse!! He'd rather shoot some hoops than go shopping!!

I guess Raw story was using a archive file.

Like about 99% of the rest of the male world.

Those shoes are fine ... until you step in a puddle.
