i just had my last ever performance and i honestly could not have worn these shoes for a day longer. i truly killed these shoes. my performance was outside so i even got grass stains on the bottoms of them. this being my last pair of pointe shoes is so special having worn them past the point of being dead!!!!!

i think i got them when i started high school or my second year of highschool
wore them the whole four/five years i had them and in the end i had the sole ripped off
it really went through a lot !!
the saddest part of them dying was when i couldn't jump into puddles to splash my friends since my socks would likely get wet but yeah it was a fun ride with those shoes

been a big fan of using things down to the last drop, especially clothing which our culture increasingly is treating as disposable. i've had these sneakers for like 7 years. they survived hot texas pavement you could fry an egg on while i was working at summer camp, carried me on plenty of hikes, survived getting submerged in salt water in connecticut, and lived most of their golden years in the trunk of my car as the forever on-call backup shoes. their last act of service to me was walking me three miles home after the chain snapped on my bike. by the time the midsole peeled off just now, the treads on the soles had been almost completely worn flat. time to get some new sneakers and grind them to dust for 7 years. thanks for the arch support, New Balance 574s π«‘

These bad boys have been there through it all. People tell me I need new ones but the aged spirit of tatter is comforting.

this song played in the background of my first month in texas last year, it reminds me of moving across the country on my own
