We don't know how or when this tradition started but people stop and hang their old footwear (shoes, sneakers, gumboots, boots, jandals), on this fence. We pass it often on our way south but yesterday we stopped and took some photo's. I've been wanting to take some pics for years but never got around to it. One of the reasons was that I thought it was a private drive but no, it is a side road down to the lake so no problem. I've always thought it was a bit of fun and others seem to think so too. I hope you enjoy my 'fence with a difference'.
Until next time,
have a good week,

As the old saying goes, 'Well, I never!' So interesting and unusual.
ReplyDeletewow! that's a long string of them! have never seen that many like that. :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen shoe trees, but never a shoe fence as long as this one. Really different! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange to see all the shoes hanging on the fence! I wonder if any one would borrow a pair! Would the cows mind? Cute photos!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder where they got all those shoes.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is something you dont' see everyday for sure. So unique, so different, so fun.
ReplyDeleteWell I never!!! This indeed is a 'fun' fence.
ReplyDeletethat is really neat!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazingly weird fence.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of people throwing their shoes on tree branches. I tried to start one where I used to live but people kept taking them down.
How funny! I wonder if anyone ever stops to trade for a better pair! What a fun fence! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a cool find! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow; 'fence with a difference' sure they ARE, Diana♡♡♡ How intriguing and makes us wonder how it started :-)

WOW! That's a ton of footwear! We have a tree near us that's treated in the same way but I think your fence has way more footwear!!
ReplyDeleteThat's the coolest thing I've ever seen.....:)
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few of these around. They are quite strange!
ReplyDeleteThis is wild...there is a tree near here with a lot of shoes in it, but it does not hold a candle to this.
