how many miles?

I've had the same pair of black high top all stars for over a year now, they've walked countless miles, they've hiked, climbed, jumped from heights big and small, they've been through rapids, down waterfalls, through nasty lake weed,  up cliff faces, down cliff faces. They've traveled to northern Cali and back, twice, they've seen my first girlfriend, they've seen my first break up. They've stepped on grass, asphalt, fire, rocks, sand, and dirt. They've carried me through wonderful games of paintball, football, soccer, basketball, and baseball.
They've done a whole lot, and i still wear them, with or without socks.

Written on the outside, you'll find "WIll you" and "Carry me far".
Most will only take the time to look at one shoe, and ask either "Why do your shoes say "Will you"?" or "why does it say "Carry me far"?".
Well dummy, if you look at both shoes you'll see that each one has half of the phrase.
Now you're asking why it says that.
Explanation: Most of us don't think about the relationship we have with our shoes, but my shoes remind me of everything I've been through, everything they've carried me through. There is nothing as faithful as a shoe. So when i make new friend's, or meet new people, i ask myself "Will this person carry me far?".
Yup, I'm selfish, and i don't want to invest in someone who's just going to hurt me, trick me, lie to me, steal my Ipod... you know.

So the next time you see me wearing my crappy shoes, and you wonder why they say "Will you" or "Carry me far", ask yourself, "Who's going to carry ME far?".

P.S. relationships.

- walk in my shoes? no, only i do that.
