Walk a day in our shoes

Every day starts with feet on the ground, then sliding toes and heels into shoes. As students walk the halls, their shoes not only take every step with them but might say something about their comfort level or style.

Sophomore Henry Whelan wears white Nike Airmax 270s.

The shoes worn are purchased for a number of reasons: sometimes because the wearer needs new shoes for the place they are, sometimes because of family influence, or sometimes because a classic must be replaced.

Seniors Nan Besse and Gray Whitaker-Castaneda both got their shoes from relatives. Whitaker-Castaneda said, "They were on clearance at DSW because my mom had dragged me in there. I found them and I tried them on and I'm like, 'Look, Mom, they fit. I need a fancy shoe. Will you buy these for me?' and then she did."

 

In the end, shoes are the foundation of any day.
