There's a small locker room where I work and I had been keeping my shoes on top of the lockers while not at work. There are probably 6 or 7 other pairs of shoes up there. But when I got into work this morning, my shoes were gone! Who the hell would want my shoes? The are very worn, the stitching is gone in a few places and the soles are extremely worn - they are really not even suitable for wearing outside. ARGH!!!
So I'm looking outside my office window right now and see a Portage Footwear, Inc. truck parked right near the front entrance. Wonder if they had anything to do with it? :)

Were the other shoes there? Maybe somebody weeded them out, thinking that your old ones weren't being used? I would ask around to see if anyone did a little "spring cleaning". Good luck!

Based on your description, someone probably looked at the condition and thought they were abandoned. It happens to me all the time -- particularly with food and clothing!
Well that makes 2 of us. I just visited the lbs on my lunch hour, and started talking to a guy there that I work with. Little did I know but he commutes too. He was trying to figure out what he needed to carry, so I showed him what I carry: spare tube, frame pump, patch kit, tire irons, and no multitoool??? My multitool is gone. At least they are a lot cheaper than shoes. Actually I am trying not to become totally pissed just yet becuase it may be in the garage at home (please please please).
Anyway, I hope you find your shoes.
So... are you barefoot or wearing your cycling shoes?

I'm stylin' with my Sidi Rampas!
Yeah, someone probably did some spring cleaning. The next pair stays in my office! :)

Sweet! I can see kickin' 'em up on the conference table in a meeting. It's all about the intimidation factor. ;)

And style, i dare say.
Besides, if you Sidi's are as comfortable as mine, someone may have done your feet a favor - for one day at least.
