The Owd Timer and the Wor Lass have been wearing off shoe leather at a record pace this summer. Now I know how they can be so mobile, They have their own chain of shoe stores. I never would have guessed they had one in Rochester, Minnesota. The store may look a little crooked, but I bet they are on the up and up inside. Slide in and take a look. Happy Traveling Owd Timer.

Interesting photograph and like your story behind this photo and there's lots of colour for the eyes and in nice sharp detail through the window you can see the shine of light on the balloons and not sure about shoes I can see a lot of trainers lol.

Great find, and so nice to think of me when you did!...☺

You can tell it's an O.B. shoe store, Bob put plenty of colorful balloons in the window for passing photographers. Good catch TicK.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

The business seems to display a lot of soul to go with the wonderful feat of aiding Americans in their daily walks. OB's, I hope, offers benches for their customers to help in the lacing up of those shoes.

I'm looking for some steel-toed sandals, do you think they carry them? A good capture of the scene, TicK. Nice focus and colours in the photo.

They are still open ... that's where I got my wedding shoes some 30 years ago. I needed something comfy on my feet for the big day.

Nicely captured, Tick. I don't get to shop in Rochester much anymore & thanks for the memories.
