Stepfam, like you I recall my pre-tech years. Used to play sports in my teens in Convers high tops...simple canvas uppers, stamped rubber sole, virtually no support compared to today's shoes. BUT.....they did not cost well over $100 either.
All those daughters Stepfam! I only have one but we call her "She Who Must Be Obeyed".... a family joke.
