Here is another addition for the foot in a shoe found on beach stories.

[The first shoe with a foot is found.](http://www.keyetv.com/content/news/topnews/story.aspx?content_id=172e43ab-02e4-4c3a-bfab-a06527e3e815)  
[The second shoe with foot is found. DNA matches the first foot.](http://www.keyetv.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=9eefdd7c-50a6-4b79-84d5-5ec6d003c34a)

The weird thing is the shoes don’t match. Just kidding.

I have to wonder if any of those shoes in a tree have feet in them.

[Let’s add in this article about a shop owner that takes one shoe from thieves.](http://www.durangoherald.com/asp-bin/article_generation.asp?article_type=news&article_path=/news/08/news080526_1.htm)

Hippy Hollow? Windy Point? The Oasis? [del]My old stomping grounds[/del]. Err… yeah, know the place well.

I thought shoes were usually the first thing to get knocked off in an accident.
