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.

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.

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.
