Among the rows of shoes along the the rack, I, even I, have my favorite pair of shoes. They have been put in place of my once new and clean sneakers but now; not so much.

These shoes have taken me to boring, old places like a freezing cold H.E.B or to thrilling takeoff’s on plane’s to see my relatives. Despite being my favorite shoes, it means they are surely going to get dirty, which means I have had to wash them several times already. Between long road trips in a car for hours of uncomfortableness to walks in the mud, there is no doubt that they will need to be scrubbed with great force in a small sink that only withstand so much water.

Without those shoes I would not be able to “twin” with my friend. Those were just a few reasons I love my wonderful, turquoise Vans. Now, how about you?
