Lone Shoes

I have long pondered the enigmatic phenomenon of a single shoe by the side of the road. These sightings have captivated my imagination since childhood and are the inspiration for the Title of this blog. What is the Story of these lone roadside shoes? How did they come to be there? Under what circumstances does ONE shoe fall or get tossed out of a moving vehicle or suddenly come off its foot and get left behind? What tales lie sleeping in the memories of these lost soles?
