I was admiring Junior's Transformers trainers and thinking back to the themes shoes I had as a kid.
The only ones I can recall are the oft-cited hushpuppies with a compass in the heel and maybe some moonwalkers with a moon surface tread. I think they were Clarks.
I also recall my Style Matchmakers, which were footy shoes endorsed by one George Best no less. Uncomfortable as hell and di nothing for my already useless footy skills. I never did make the school team and remained in the group labelled The Duffers!
Did you have any themed or favourite kids' shoes or slippers readers?
I had the Clarkes Nature Trek with Wayfinder animal track soles and later as the space based Moonshot with cratered soles and magnets in the heel - Bill

I think the ones with compasses in them were called Clarke's Commandos .
ReplyDeleteCommandos were another style again, but without the compass or magnet. Bill
