San Motr' C5e Htl'ntrtf Saturday, August 7, 1971 'At Wit's End' Gym Shoes, a Bygone Bargain JHe put into my hand a pair of shoes that musi have 'weighed a ton. They were white with red and blue stars over them. I looked at the price tag. It was enough to make you. give up America.

"This is I said, "why can't you wear that pair aver there for "Are you kidding?" he "thess only make you jump 10 feet taller than ordinary shoes. And everybody who plays basketball wears them. John Havlicelc of Boston Celtics wears them." "How much does John Havlicek make' a year?" "About $125,000 a year. "Then John Havlkek can afford them. We can't." According to the salesman, the shoes would not only, make my son able to leap tall buildings "in a single bound, they would improve his hook shots, make hi rn taller, give him stamina and make him less." "Could you fit 'him a little large?" I asked the salesman.

They both looked at me aghast. ''How large?" asked the salesman. "I figure by the thickness of thai sole, if we played our cards right, he could get married in them." The way they looked at me, I was afraid ask for the box, the balloon, the whistle or the chance on the pony. By ERMA BO.MBECK Since this is the era of nostalgia and every writer in the world is remembering something, I want to remember gym We used to buy my gym shoes at the dime store. They were next the eyeglasses.

I never tried them on as the center aisle was always busy and there was never any room to sit If they were a little big, I tied them tighter around the ankle and waited for my feet to It they were too small, I took offtheanklets that were too that I doubled under my toes. The gym shoes cost $1. For that price, 1 got a box, a balloon, a plastic whistle and an entry blank on a pony. Today, buying 'a pair of gym shoes, makes the purchase of a 747 look like an impulse. As a drivers status is judged by the type car he a bay is judged.on the type of gym shoes he wears.

"Here's a nice pair of gym shoes," I said to my son. "Why don'tyou try them on:" "Mom," he said "those. aren't basketball gym shoes. They're tennis gym shoes. You want me to get laughed off the hoop court?" "I thought gym shoes were gym "No," he said, "these are the shoes I need."
