They were $9. My mom made me pay for half of them with my paper route money. Later, they were the shoe of choice for roofers working on shake roofs in Kansas City. I wore them then, too. I still have a pair, well, I only have the left one. Lost the right one a couple years ago and can't find it anywhere.Jeremiahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-30084681087835567992009-12-18T17:11:50.851-05:002009-12-18T17:11:50.851-05:00ADG - so are my tutu and tartan tights days...ADG - so are my tutu and tartan tights days...A.E.F.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-61985234587838602482009-12-18T16:28:38.732-05:002009-12-18T16:28:38.732-05:00Man do i ever remember the feel of a new pair of C...Man do i ever remember the feel of a new pair of Chucks!
