Vol. 2 No. 68 Smelly Feet #2 Some 1950's/60's Shoes

 Phil Scott, one of our regular readers has a great shoe collection, only a few of which are pictured below.

                                       This pair of Adidas about 1956 belonged to Curtis Stone
                                       American 10,000 meter runner.  Note the repair on the sole.

                                         A pair of early Sauconys

                                               Spotbilts about 1960
                                                       Sole of Spotbilt

                                          Adidas Intervals that probably saved the careers
                                          of a lot of runners with that elevated heel.
                                                    Early 1950's Adidas
Note the four permanent spikes on the Adidas
