31 Shoes in 31 Days: Day 11
Alison Pegg
Shoes have always been a cornerstone of my wardrobe, they’re part of my signature style. As the world starts to open up and we venture out again, I’m sharing a sneak peek into some of my collection, and the story each pair has to tell.
Oh, how I wish I was writing this after a much different match result.
That’s the thing about sports and clothes. An investment in a favourite team’s gear helps you feel part of the collective and part of the team yet also keep memories alive for a lifetime, good and bad.
Given that these are Adidas branded England shoes tells you how long I’ve been wearing these. I purchased them during the 2010 World Cup to cheer on my beloved lads and now 11 years later I still bring them out when it’s time to cheer on England during international play. (Though I’m still too superstitious to watch a match in its entirety).
And while I’m still feeling a little glum after the Euro result, I couldn’t be prouder of my team, both on and off the pitch. And there’s always the 2022 World Cup to bring it home, right?
