The fabric of my favorite shoes? oh no, it would be the material used like my favorite school bag made of genuine leather it was but today it could be made of... something synthetic yes, something mad-made did I say mad? I meant man-made... I won't have my shoes man-made something synthetic for my feet?! Seen a few hobos with plastic bags on no that doesn't do the trick for me the corporate look must be maintained from the bottom up... up to where other materials are used dress material now has these new fibers! That acrylic lasts just as long as wool did you know that, did you know that might of started from the feet up or was from someones head down the idea for a new dress look wrinkle free.. all those years sacrificed for natural fibers, furs and frills all those years in the sweat shop just so some other generation gets the stuff you wash and wear to get a wrinkle free garment something you wouldn't iron out, ready to go on the street now there's all kinds of fibers and the synthetics are cut and matched in odd arrays, that's it no more the... the monotone cotton shirts.. the flannel pants...ha! and the ladies with the see through stockings wear a week and throw away not in my day, they were all opaque but that's when Dupont just started. Today I can use that flimsey stuff I mean material, to call the darn thing nylon, the stuff the stretches and shimmers in the light. Amazing what shoes would do for the person think of what he could do for the nation cause it all started from the feet and worked its way up it did! For the men and the ladies next thing the kids got into it... they put on what was churned out quick synthetic, takes the place of the natural that's why I say it's mad-made I mean man-made.

yep mad-made but I often have a different reason for preferring such, as a vegetarian |
