The shoes are unremarkable – simple black pumps with a black ribbon at the toe. The reason these pumps have caught my attention, though, is not their appearance. It’s their placement. The shoes are neatly placed just outside the one and only set of elevators on the ground level of the parking deck. How did they come to be there? How would someone go about losing their shoes?
I wondered if the shoes were left there by the owner, her feet too sore to continue wearing them. But no. If that were the case, I don’t believe they would have been so neatly placed. If there were sore feet involved, surely those shoes would have been slung off as the owner cried, “Freedom!†Plus, this is downtown. You don’t go barefooted onto an elevator. Or into a parking deck. Or anywhere.

Perhaps the owner, discontent with the less than comfortable shoes, threw them off as she got in her car. A stranger sees them and, thinking they have been somehow lost, places them outside the elevator doors where anyone coming in or out of the parking deck the next morning would not be able to miss them.
Except they have been there for two days now. In this 8-to-5, Monday through Friday, downtown work scene, it’s hard to imagine that the owner hasn’t seen them yet. Perhaps she has seen them and, with feet comfortably in another pair of shoes, continued onto the elevator. Without them.
If she saw them – even with her feet comfortably in another pair of shoes – would she be able to pick up the discarded black pumps? If others were around her, would she be too embarrassed to pick them up? What would others think of her? Would they think she’s a cheapskate who just picked them up because, “Hey! Free shoes!†Or would she explain that she had “lost†them?
Except how would someone go about losing their shoes? And would that story even be appropriate to tell another living soul?
