I was hoping this was about the shoes. (Are they still around?)

[keat]

Wore them often.

The story of the shoes is mentioned towards the end of the article.

Not to be confused with Desert Boots.

Yes! They’re still manufactured by Wolverine World Wide in Rockford, Michigan.

"This is my dog Tige, he lives in a shoe, I'm Buster Brown, look for me in there, too."

[Verginius Rufus]

Headin' up to San Francisco
for the Labor Day weekend show,
I've got my hush-puppies on,
I guess I never was meant for
glitter rock and roll.
And honey, I didn't know
that I'd be missing you so.

Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side.

-- Jimmy Buffett, "Come Monday"
