shoes

there are many abandoned shoes in new zealand.  people tend to take them off and walk barefoot round the place.  they may then remember to return to their shoes.  or may not

here are some shoes outside a maori meeting place.  the top are toe shoes and the ones below are identical possible causing confusion on exit

it’s the custom to take your shoes off when you go to someone’s house in new zealand which makes for comedy shoe piles outside houses, especially if there’s about a million people attending.  here is just some of the shoe pile outside a house we went to this evening.

why the “inverted commas” ?  perhaps their foots are so loose they aren’t actually shoes ?

i’ve glad they didn’t have a similar sign for trousers

small country – big load of abandoned shoes

more mysterious lost kiwi shoes.  i wonder if kiwis are being abducted by aliens

what is it with kiwis abandoning decent shoes in the street ?

this is a fancy shoe in down town auckland.  i wonder if it was lost or a very clever marketing thing ?  looks like whoever lost it doesn’t undo their shoe laces proper like.
