New Shoes, Too.
I've literally taken a page out of Beth's diary and made some "new" shoes for adam, using the same handy instructions.
I used some black men's dress shoes from the goodwill, though mine were $8 instead of Beth's lucky $1.50 find (D.C. goodwill inflation?). They were super shiney to start, so I "polished" them with a sandpaper block. Horrifying idea in real life, but really satisfying for costuming. They're still kinda shiny, but much less "is that plastic or leather?" They are leather, though, I assure you. ;)
I didn't have the good sense to take a before picture, but here is the after. I guess i'm gonna have to trim some of the lining from the instep on the left one, cuz you can see the white peaking through:

Those look really spiffy! I love our cheapskate shoes.
I had to resist the urge for slashings a la beth. ;) But then, his shoes fit pretty well, so he doesn't actually need them.
Maybe I'll reserve slashings for my own silly shoes....
Why trim lining when you can use a sharpie ;) Then nobody has to know about it and you still get comfy, non stinky feet!
Dude. sharpee. That's absolutely brilliant!
