The shoes on the right were my oldest piece of clothing. I bought them in the early 1970’s they started oout as my semi-posh shoes and for the past ten years i have worn them as my trail relief shoes. They finally failed.

The question is do I need too buy replacements or can I get buy with dark sneakers?
