Tread And Wear

Looking at my shoe rack one day, I noticed a couple of shoes were upturned. One was worn down very significantly, and sorting through all the other pairs, it became apparent that there was evidence of a personal signature, like a fingerprint. I photographed all of the shoes and realised it was of course, how I walked. Weight (the amount of wear exerted), Gait (what part of the shoe makes contact with the ground), and State Of Mind (whether I’m trudging along, or have a spring in my step). This picture was created in 2010, I remembered it recently so I re-visited and edited the original. The underside of John Wayne’s boots would be interesting to examine!!
