Mundania: sneakers and shoelaces
I thought 50kr for a pair of sneakers at Føtex was cheap. (Kitit said there were 20kr pairs at Tiger, argh.) But then it came in a really boring cream canvas color, so I bought a tube of acrylic paint and colored it myself. Decided to experiment a bit, so I painted even the sides. I could have made it clean by scrubbing the rubber with an old toothbrush, but the messy look gives it a unique finish, as if I stepped on paint.
Googled for ways of lacing and tying. Yes, it might be boredom. Ian's Shoelace Site displays a passion for these strings. I settled on Monte Fisher's double helix method for lacing and then Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot for tying. Neat and easy.
