Lol, they deserve accolades. They're so good! It'd be dangerous to have them given to me though. I'd probably gain about 100lbs! I've never seen shoes disintegrate like that. Hopefully the new ones hold up a little better. Spring is so amazing here! I just wish it would last longer. It'll be boiling hot and humid in a few weeks now until this fall when the temps plunge below freezing again. This is the land of extremes! : )
