What. The Hell. I again went in to the office, I again looked down at my feet, and I AGAIN saw that my shoes were disintegrating.
Not the heels this time. The uppers. Evidently, my lime green sandals are white sandals that WERE coated with suede-like green flocking. They don’t like the office any more than the black shoes or the navy shoes.
(Spunky is appalled by this photo, by the way. She is so vain.)

I had a pair of faux-leather shoes do something similar within less than 12 years after purchase. I assume it’s either just plain Time or a combination of time and heat/cold/humidity/oil/etc. stresses on the material-of-varying-quality, but in any event, I do not like it …
KC – I suppose I’ve never had a situation like the pandemic where shoes can just die of old age instead of succumbing to accidents and wear and tear. But then I think of the socialite’s shoe collection in that shoe museum. Those shoes looked fine. But then, they were made of leather, not faux suede.
Some materials age more gracefully than others, we’ll say.
