Lost Flip Flop

People seem to lose their shoes where we are walking. My hikers are securely on my feet!

Abandoned Shoes

We don't always see why the abandoned shoes we encounter were left behind, but these do seem to have seen better days.

They Seem Pretty Good

Noticed these on the sidewalk. As with all abandoned shoe photos, shot as found.

Abandoned High Heel

Someone is always losing them. Our rule? Never posed. Always exactly as found.

Shoe Blowout

Abandoned after the blowout?

It's the Season of Abandoned Shoes

This one near Jackie's apartment. I'm sure there's a story in all of these although I have trouble imagining them.

Temporary shoe, abandoned

Jackie says these are given to people who get pedicures. She captured this one in its abandoned situ. These shots are never posed on this blog. We have our standards.

Blew Out my Flip Flop

It's pretty easy to see why this one was abandoned. Jackie caught this edition to the long-running abandoned shoes meme.

Two pairs of abandoned shoes

This is a first, I think. Two pairs of abandoned shoes in one place. They look like they had some more life in them.

Hopping Away

This one lost shoe was on South Lamar. It always makes one wonder.

One Shoe

In the ongoing saga of lost things, particularly shoes, Jackie submits this one, found near her apartment.

Little lost shoes

Some kids are missing one shoe in the trail area around the lake.

Where's my Sole?

Jackie found this abandoned sole along the walk of the Austin Women's March.

First Lost Shoe of the Year

Jackie found this cute little shoe on her walk near the Pfluger Bridge. It's our first abandoned shoe of 2017, but I bet it's not the last.

Lone Shoe

As I said to Jackie when she submitted this picture: "The abandoned shoe meme never gets old." She captured this one near the Lamar overpass. We never pose nor move the shoes without owners, letting them speak their volumes as intended.

Lost Shoe

Quite a nice little shoe placed on the restroom sign on the Butler Trail in hopes someone will come and find it again. Captured by Jackie for our ongoing abandoned shoe project. Never staged, always photographed just as found. Well, mostly. It's amazing how many shoes are left behind.

Lost Shoe

Jackie captured this abandoned shoe at Fifth and Guadalupe one night. She says it appeared perfectly servicable.

Christmas in March

Our friend Jackie spotted this late last month, abandoned on the sidewalk on Barton Springs Road. It's not exactly a shoe and it probably doesn't even go on a foot but we are including it in the abandoned shoe series!

Child with One Shoe on the Loose

Our friend Jackie saw this shoe on a wall near a sidewalk on W. Sixth. I guess I understand a child losing a shoe but it is surprising how often shoes are abandoned.

This Boot...

Jackie shot this one under the railroad trestle near Seaholm. There seemsto be a lot of shoe abandonment lately.
