I took my new Chuck Taylor All Stars out for a test drive last night. Good news: They still make my feet look 1.5 times bigger than they really are, and they totally remind me of seventh grade, when I was on the junior high basketball team.
I was tall and I could shoot, but I just wasn’t that good at basketball. The fast pace of the game frustrated me – I’m a planner. Plus, it was hard to be a cool outcast when you’re with the incast.
Turns out you can also wear your Chucks while you’re hanging out with the drama club and smoking under the bleachers, where nobody notices that your feet seem a lot bigger than they should be.
Recycled response: This is an iconic image; surely it will replace the “Is it live or is it Memorex” commercial image. And, again, thanks for shaving.
You were totally the girl I hung out with beneath the bleachers. The my bleachers was actually the basement hallway near the faculty smoke room.
Why DO those shoes make feet look sooo much bigger? Is it an optical illusion or something? I had big feet already (size 10 all through high school) so these were not even an option for me!
