In my next life I want to be a shoe designer, not the whole shoe, just the soles. Can you believe there are already people who do that? They never get the credit they deserve because most people never look at the bottoms of their shoes. I have 3 shoe racks that hang on my closet wall.

I hang my shoes facing the wall so the soles are facing out and I see them each time I go into the closet. There are some pretty mod designs and some just plain pretty ones. Most of these photos are of my sandals and flats as the high heel shoes soles are pretty boring for some reason. Don't look too closely....I didn't want to wash them all.

I have named the patterns on my soles

grids and circles

basketball tread

left side wave

ocean wave

pink waves

orange railroad track

white lady bug

mountain creek ripples

elephant skin

diamonds

reverse diamonds

fern leaf

too many frowns

mummy bandages

draining tub

button Swirls

puffy quilt

bouquet

Tuscan wall

floral spray

and my favorite....the hummer

Have you ever looked at the bottom of your shoes? Do it and let me know what you find. (Besides gum and dog poo that is)
