White tennis shoes again.
 

I resurrected this topic because I was in Vienna over Christmas. I wore my white tennis shoes one day because the sun had come out and it was much warmer...so I thought I'd be a bit more casual and comfortable since I had been wearing warmer boots for days.

Anyway, I walked past a group of locals who looked down at my shoes. As I passed I heard one of them say, "He's wearing his marshmallows".

I stopped and asked them if they liked them, and we all had a good laugh...although it was evident that they were embarrassed.

So...yes, it seems white tennis shoes are of dubious interest in some parts of Europe.

I think it is funny you stopped and asked them? Were they running or tennis shoes? I am glad you had a sense of humor about the incident :-).

Oh Jim does this mean we will have some photos? I hope so.

I am wearing my white nikes today, they are just the best. Why can't everyone like them!!

Hi J,

No one wears white shoes between Labor day and Memorial day unless they live in FL.

That's why those Viennese remarked upon it.

Or Texas. &lt;):) ((#))

I love my whities, too! (Though, I confess, mine have a bit of blue on them, so they're not totally marshmallows.)

Not only FL, ira, but here in Southern California, too.

The shoes I had on were Brooks Addiction walkers, which are very comfortable for me. They also come in black. I think I'll get a pair :)

Some photos coming soon, SeaUrchin. This really wasn't a &quot;photo&quot; trip so to speak, but I did manage to take a few keepers.

We were on a family trip over Christmas, cruising on the Danube between Nuremberg &amp; Vienna...stopping at the Christmas markets...so photography opportunities came mainly when the barge docked.
