if you know me, then you've no doubt heard me go on and on about these shoes. they are the greatest shoes ever. girls have been right all along, shoes do make you feel better. when i first got them last year, i'd walk up to coworkers and force them to gaze up on their brilliance and luster. i'd say "have you ever seen cooler shoes before? allow me to answer for you... No, you haven't". Or walking down the street at lunch, i'd point at other people's shoes and remark how their shoes pale in comparison to mine.

but they're starting to wear out. i have worn them practically everyday. they're a little scuffed, some threads are sticking out, and even the soles inside are wearing down. my poor, poor diesels.

i had been looking around at shoe stores, trying to find another exact same pair because they're probably on clearance cause the new line of diesels just came out. but no luck. then on the weekend, while at a shoe store, i was telling a friend this story. he looks down at the clearance rack we were standing by, and there they were. my diesels. in size 12. i think i heard angels singing.

me: "can i get these?"
sales girl: "would you like to try them on?"
me: "nope."

so now i have a brand new pair of these shoes in a box in my closet. i left those "do not eat" gel pack things in there, so they'll be fresh for the day they get the call.
