I seem to have picked up a new habit. Over the years I have managed to enjoy and suffer through numerous habits of various kinds. This time I am addicted to something relatively benign. I am into shoes, lots of shoes of every imaginable kind and shape. I have got quite the collection piling up in my wardrobe and in my vestibule. I’ve got two pairs (I think) of really sharp Chelsea boots, about six pairs of sneakers (four pair of Chucks in different colors), sandals of various kinds, some high-heels etc. etc. I hate flip-flops by the way and they still wouldn’t count anyway if did I have some. Anyhow, right now I am trying to locate a really rare piece of foot wear. Something every shoe loving guy or gal should treasure (at least I think so). I guess it can prove to quite hard and definitely rather expensive to acquire these legendary shoes though. With any luck they could turn up at some online auctions site though I actually suspect that it’s more likely that some old school auction house will handle that kind of business considering the famousness of the shoes previous owner. I am trying to locate, hold on to your hats now, Rudolf Nureyev’s ballet shoes which he wore and used during one of his last show in Paris. I really want them. It is unlikely that they should be a match for my feet but I want them all the same.
