Old farmhouse footwear

Seeing as they aren’t 70s-styled, 3 stripe sporting, sneakers, these aren’t the kind of things I’d happily put on to pop downtown in.

But, found in an old farmhouse, in fading light, they were really quite fetching.

    That is “authentic” old.
    Definitely.

      Yeah. Well used too. Or at least they were once.

    They look so uncomfortable. But I don’t know, I’ve never worn any shoes like that.

      Me too Mimi. And I don’t think I’d want to try either.

    Love the depth of field on this. What lens did you use?

      Cheers Matt. I used a 35mm at f/2 while standing on my tiptoes trying to get the angle I wanted!

    I caught “old farmhouse”. Is this part of a bigger haikyo to come?

      Afraid not Lizzy. It was in an old farmhouse that has been preserved to show how people once lived and worked.

      I do have a haikyo that I haven’t posted yet though, and, fingers crossed, I’ll be visiting a new one this week.
