Classmates remember Lost ‘Sole’ Through Book of Shoes
Where have your shoes been? What do they say about you? From doodles to rips, heels to boots, your shoes express your personality, perhaps more than any other piece of clothing. We stomp, run, and play in our shoes. We spend hours and pound miles of pavement in them. As a result, we don’t talk about wearing someone else’s sweater; we invoke empathy by inviting our friends to walk a mile in our shoes. The classmates of a deceased boy scout in Omaha have moved beyond this cliche, however. In memory of their friend, Ben Petrzilka, they have created a book titled Our Soles. The book pairs their writing with pictures of their shoes.
