What’s the Deal with Purple Shoes?

(on my Flickr)

Then, Friday, I tried to get a 365 in purple before rushing off to a high school football game (our team’s color happens to be purple.)   Like this.   I didn’t even wear purple when I was a student there. 

 (365 Day 268)

Then I see Kirsten Mckee’s photo of a purple converse sneaker. 

Then I saw lots of photos of purple shoes and I wondered: what’s the deal with purple shoes and when did I become a purple shoe person?

Just thinking out loud, here.
