I have three pairs of sneakers – I wear one pair of them. They are all identical boys’ black generic sneakers from Walmart. The other 2 pairs are spares for when this pair wears out as I have trouble finding shoes small enough to fit that I like (and generally despite being female/in my 60s it is generally boys shoes that I like as they not sensible colors- like black, no to very low heeled, and in small enough sizes – as icky pink girl shoes would also be – to fit me) .

I have similar problems
Should I wear black shoes, black pants and a black t-shirt or should I wear a black t-shirt, black pants and black shoes?
