It’s one thing to find abandoned shoes in the good weather but when you see two pair of relatively new running shoes nestled in the snow it makes you wonder what the owners were thinking. It turns out that these were next to an outdoor skating rink but I still found it odd that the shoes were left outside when there is an indoor facility next to the rink where you can change and store boots and shoes.
Soon after I took this photo the owners came by and quickly retrieved their sneakers. I’m sure they thought it was odd that I was taking a photo of their shoes.

That is very odd, but at least they came and retrieved them!

They came very quickly when they saw me take photos of their shoes. I think they thought I might steal them.

how stressful to be skating whilst also keeping an eye on one’s shoes!

One thing I’ve learned doing the ODD series is that you don’t have to look far to find something odd.

That’s true but it’s the story behind the find that makes it interesting.

You’d think they would remember their shoes when their feet got cold and wet 😀 😀

Well they had on their skates and that is why the shoes were left behind but it was just in an odd place.

It depends on where they were abandoned. If by the back porch, I can see it. If in the park, why did they leave them so neat? It’s almost like they are in an outdoor closet. 🙂

The only problem with leaving them outside like that is that they would be very cold when you are ready to take off your skates and put your shoes back on.

Yes, so that’s where they were. I’m not sure I would do that. Last time I went skating on a lake or river, my parents or grandparents took me. So they kept them nice and toasty.

That sounds like a fun series. I did a lost mask series for awhile at the height of COVID.

It’s strange to see sneakers in the snow or abandoned anywhere. Strangely enough, I seem to see more abandoned sneakers than shirts or any other pair of clothing. Makes you wonder what the story behind it is, especially when they’re in mostly great shape

In this case Travis, the owners were skating on the rink, close by but they were taking a bit of a risk putting them out in the open like that, especially when they were so new.
