This is a shoe cake. Really, it's totally edible. I wonder what the shoe laces are made of? The arches in Linda's feet are really hurting, so she said she does not want to do a second walk with us. She keeps putting off buying new sneakers, but now it's a "must", not just a "like" to have new shoes. She needs to just do it and replace them today. There are 3 pairs she rotates, and all are over a year old. Since she does an average of 20 classes per week, that's a lot of wear and tear on the supports and arches. Today's pair even has a little hole in the side where her pinkie toe pokes out. A local department store is running a 20-50% off sale on athletic shoes, plus she has a 20% off coupon on top of that. As an added bonus, for every $50 dollars you spend, you get a $10 gift certificate! Although she hates to spend that much money at once, she will buy 3 new pairs and throw away the old ones. I'm glad my paws never have to be replaced.
