Hey Gang,

Man do I love browsing the Google-Life Archive... Great picture and caption:

Des Moine Teenagers
Teenage boys sporting their latest shoe fad of wearing G.I. shoes (Army surplus they bought or inherited) which they call "My old lady's Army Shoes" & wear every Tuesday at school.

Looks like they're all roughouts tho. Maybe if they weren't, you sanded them to fit in.
