Driving between Devil's Tower and Custer State Park we discovered this shoe tree at the side of the road. Not sure why it started but since finding it I have also found a couple of shoe fences. . .odd.

Red Wing Shoes. . .for giants?
I have been to Red Wing, Minnesota many times but only this trip did I notice the shoes.
They are spread throughout town, outside different stores.
I imagine they chose shoes, over cows (New Glarus, Wisconsin) and lions (Appleton, Wisconsin) because they are home to Red Wing Shoes.
Although, I don’t understand why they didn’t choose crocks, since they are also home to Red Wing Pottery.
Maybe the crocks would catch the rain and snow.
Bet, you can’t tell which ones were my favorites.
I’m sure there are more yet to be discovered.

Growing Crocs
Summer 2007
Summer 2008
You know I love Crocs right? I mean I’ve mentioned before how much they help my foot pain. Before I started wearing Crocs I my feet would hurt with every step. Now they don’t, magic, right? Not pictured are my Winter beige Mammoths with the fuzzy lining and my skimpy Cleos that are so cute. Guess where I get my new shoes?
Yep, just pluck them off the Croc Tree.
Looks like these are ripe for the picking.

What A Croc!
Originally posted August 26, 2007
Last summer I went to a podiatrist because my feet hurt so much and so often. He told me I had Tarsal Tunnel and gave me some exercises to do. They didn’t help. But I’ve found something that has.
I spent years with feet that hurt with my first few steps of the day and ache in the evenings, sometimes so much that I avoided walking. I also occasionally got pain in my left knee and/or hip. But, about 3 months ago I took a leap. I had seen these ugly shoes everywhere and hated them almost as much as I hate Utube.
I thought they were the ugliest things I had ever seen, in fact I still do. But after seeing so many people in them, I finally asked a friend how she liked hers and if her feet sweated in them. She said she had foot problems and they helped and that no, her feet didn’t sweat unless she went with the knock-offs cheap brands.
It took my husband quite some time to convince me shell out $30 for a pair of shoes that I already had in my mind I hated. Even as I picked out a color I wondered if I would actually wear them. Guess what. No really guess.
I’m on my second pair of them. I totally wore the first pair out hiking (hey I‘ve walked a lot of miles doing 1000 caches). Since the first day I put them on they are the only shoes I have worn. No more aching feet. I can get out of bed in the morning and not feel like I’m stepping on glass. My hip and knee haven’t hurt once either. I never really believed that a shoe would make me pain free, but it has.
I did put on a different pair of shoes yesterday, because of the rain and my hip hurts today. I am now worried about what I will do this winter, when a couple of feet of snow is on the ground and I can’t wear my Peacock Cayman Crocs anymore. Maybe the Georgie would work. Do you think they would consider making a snow boot so I would be able to constantly wear Crocs?
