Mine would wear flip flops, of course! :) Or maybe stilettos, cowboy boots, loafers, or even sneakers. :) What a cute blog, Joan. Shoes do say a lot about a character and his/her personality. Thanks a bunch for sharing!
Well, this is an interesting post…never though of all those shoes unless they’re going on my feet. Thanks…got me thinking!
Dear Jennifer, Thank you for writing. You’re right, your characters would probably wear Flip Flops. I love your characters, Flip and Flop. You’re right, shoes do say a lot about a character and his/her personality. You’re welcome for my sharing.

Great question, Joan.
Mine would wear wing tips, spit polished and shined to perfection because as a child, he had to make do stuffing cardboard to cover the holes in the soles, and soles barely attached.
Dear Sandra,
Thanks for writing. Great description of the shoes your character would wear and why. Why is what pulls your readers into your story. Awesome. Great hearing from you.

Joan,
The MC in my WIP would wear bedroom shoes–some sort of animal ones, but nothing pink. In my adult project, the MC would wear tennis shoes or comfy casuals, and sometimes socks only.
What a great exercise and lots of fun to think about. Nice of you to spotlight Jennifer Larson too. Lots of cool pictures.
Dear Linda,
Thank you for writing. Children love to wear animal bedroom slippers. Hmm…nothing pink means perhaps it’s a boy main character. Glad that your main character in your adult project enjoys wearing comfy shoes or just socks.
Thank you for the compliment about this being a great exercise and lost of fun to ponder. It was my pleasure to spotlight, Jennifer Larson. She is a jewel.
Celebrate you and your writing!
