Flip-Flop in the Sand
I’m not 100% sure that this zori was abandoned. It looks like someone may have thrown it or kicked it off as he ran out of the water.
Its mate, however, like its owner, was nowhere to be found.
Since March, I’ve been to the lakefront fifteen times… yet I’ve found only two shoes or parts of shoes.
The weather has been very cool, especially right at the lake. Perhaps it’s been too cold for people to remove their shoes, throw them around, or leave them behind.
Sole #6
The first shoe of the season is part of a sole. It is very degraded and I expect it is left over from last year.
I had to flip it over to be sure what it was. You can see little perforations around the edge that indicate that it is part of a shoe.
I’m not really sure if it is from an outer sole or an inner sole.
I also came across this, which does seem recent:
And here’s what the beach looks like right now, in one of the less littered areas. It really was a beautiful day.
