Boots Made For Walking by elliot Matthews, Loøke Jr., Donkraa, Stefan Lund

August 24th, 2010 6:01 PM / Location: 44.988173,-93.25607

INSTRUCTIONS: Walk 5 miles in shoes you made yourself.

5miles = 8 kilometers

"That's stupid!"
"Dude... Nah"
"What are we even going to make shoes out of?"
"BE CREATIVE!"

Alright, we had a pretty boring night ahead of us, most places were closing up and we didn't want to spend the night inside so we decided to do some SF0. It took us a while to find something, but as we were scrolling through this one really caught our eye. TO THE BASEMENT! It took us about 45 minuets to get these together. Elliot made his out of blocks of wood, nails and tape. They were supposed to be like that one guy's sandals from Princess Mononoke. Mine, were Kleenex boxes that I stuffed foam in and taped to my feet. Stef just had planks but he tried to make a nice fabric strap for his feet. So our route would be a meandering path through NE that would take us to the Stone Arch Bridge and back so we went a little more than 5 miles. We get about 4 blocks and our shoes start falling apart beneath our feet. Thankfully we brought two rolls of tape with us and we fixed our shoes up for the rest of our journey. With an occasional odd look from a passer by and a few stumbles over curbs through the dark, we had a great night just walking and talking. AND, now we all have souvenirs of our travels too.

When we got back it was late enough that we just sat down in the street and talked without interruption.
