When I was a kid my faves were Keds--not cool, but they were so lightweight that I could run and jump like the horse I pretended I was (TMI!)

As a teen--black Hi-Top Chucks; yeah, bay-bee!!!! Now that was the shiz nit.


I DID THAT TOO!!! i used to canter around the playground, lmao!

Even worse --

I had a horse "club" -- got quite a few kids in it, too -- where we all pretended to be horses and had contests to see who could buck each other off their backs. We ate grass in the schoolyard and whinnied and nickered and cantered all over the place. I even gave out horsey "report cards" :rolleyes:

I used skipping ropes and I taught a few kids how to swing a lasso, too, and that got me suspended :(

Had something to do with demonstrating how to throw a heeler loop at a kid running by, who promptly fell and bloodied her nose.

Didn't even get a chance to throw my two loops and a hooey.

Hey, I was only 9 :D

I wore those cheap track shoes we all got through school (think maybe Adidas?). And in the summer, it was either barefoot, or Dr. Scholls wood sandals!
 
I loved my Suede Pumas back in the 80's and I still love them now. ;) (not the same pair, btw). I'm not kickin' the fat laces this time, however....even though I do have some if I ever change my mind.
 
Ok girls. This one is for all of you ... How about the jellyz who remembers those. I loved them ugly as heck but they where the crocs of the 80s.
