Poll parrot shoes??

Yes- - - -now learn to spell, doofus!

Red Goose Shoes as well.

Auto incorrect at it again!!!

Now that you mention it yes. That's one I'd long ago forgotten about.

I do. I also remember Mothers getting the baby shoes (Buster Brown’s here)you learned to walk in bronzed as keepsakes. Olan Mills family portraits before cell phones. Ours was in Sears Store.

Sort of.

Keds Red Ball Jets were a thing when I was a kid.

Didn't knife or shoot each other for them though.

Samsies

Mason shoes too, with the door-to-door salesmen. I actually had a pair many moons ago.

I've got my hush puppies on

PF Flyers

Earth shoes baby!

🤓

With the roll/wave soles-- chicks digged those.

Paul Parrot! Paul Parrot!
The shoes you ought to buy.
They make your feet run faster.
As fast as I can fly.
Paul Parrott! Paul Parrot!

…It scares me sometimes…the she-it that’s still stuck in my head.

Pepperidge Farm does.

Crackerjack,there`s a prize in every box.

Buying cigarettes at the drug store for mom when 6 or 7 years old.

BOBBALEE: You a Buffet fan too? He did alright for a Mississippi boy. Always been a fan. Liked “Come Monday” and the Living and Dying in 3/4 Time album. Great songwriter.

Blue swade boots

Cigarettes 20 cents a pack

I remember blue SUEDE boots were on the market at one time.

Ten cent Key chew.

Gaines Burgers.

RC Cola and a honey bun for a quarter

(Today, 65 years later I paid $22k for a Side x Side!!!)

Did that at about age 10 at a local farm market/convenience store for my grandmother when she occasionally baby sat us kids. In the name of full disclosure I will admit that I also had a note from her and she had also talked to the store owner on the phone beforehand. My sister and I sometimes laugh about the very idea of sending some kid to the store nowadays to buy a pack of smokes.

P.F. Flyers
Run faster & jump higher

Wanted posters in the post office

I read this as whore members lol

2 of my Great Uncles sold Mason shoes.

Granddaddy always bought Mason shoes/boots. Spend your big money on your everyday work shoes/boots. Go cheap on the Sunday go to meeting shoes you only wear one time a week. You’re be in your work boots 6 days a week as opposed to 1 for the dress shoes. He worked at a cotton seed oil mills all over the Mississippi Delta, installing them and working in them. Stood on concrete and metal a lot. Wonderful distinctive smell omitted by them in the process of obtaining the oil. Just about a thing of the past.

WGAF

One lefts and the other rights?

I never could get them to fry up worth a darn, and the taste was very disappointing.

... will make you run faster and jump higher.
I believed that way back when. Plus, they came with a cool toy.

Five cent, candy bars, chewing gum, fountain Coke, ice cream cones,

Saturday morning shows.

Just as a matter of no interest footwear, , I have a friend who buys footwear two pairs at a time, as his feet are different sizes. Fortunately, his brother is the same, but opposite footed. Works out for both of them!

I remember 10 cent cokes, and the larger 15 cent-ers.

I'm not boomer enough to remember those shoes I guess.

Buster Brown had that jingle on the radio. "I'm Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. This is my dog Tighe, he lives there too"

and those shoe store XRay machines. They would give you a life time dose of radiation in just one visit.

I still have his early albums.

Mom and the salesman got to look into them. I was forbidden to do so. I managed to sneak a look once.

The Brown Shoe Company was located in Belleville, Illinois - my home town. Closed sometime in the 60s, I think.

Buster Brown, Red Goose, Converse All Stars, Red Ball Jets... all shoes of "back when". We always got a new pair of canvas "sneakers" every Spring. By Fall, they were in tatters and we'd get new leather ones for school and winter.

It was always a big day in the spring when we were allowed to ditch our "real" shoes for tennis shoes. We never did figure out whether there was a "Queen Mother" who made the decision unilaterally or if there was a committee that got together and decided on the acceptable date each year.

Along with the Red Ball Jets and PF Flyers, there were the Keds, which had those thick toe sections with the ribs on them. Chucks didn't really show up until high school, when each and every basketball player wore a pair that was a minimum of one size too large. When I was a senior, our guidance counselor and history teacher/assistant basketball coach decided to take on the task of attempting to turn a hopeless geek into a cool dude and got me outfitted in black/low-cut Chucks, sweat socks dyed in coffee, wheat jeans, and black t-shirts. It did actually work to a degree.

I remember not knowing what TV was.

What did you have for breakfast?

Three cent stamp. Penney post cards.

Bates floaters

Cardboard sieves on flashlight battery's

When Doctors made house calls.

Penny candy in the big apothecary jars at the local neighborhood store- - - -that actually cost a penny apiece. My favorite was the coconut haystacks. Lucky Strike unfiltered- - - - -quarter a pack- - - -started buying them at the same store at age 12- - - -no note required!

When they repaired radios, and TVs

Enjoy!
