A recent commenter named Robert explains his involvement with shoefiti in the 1980’s
In the late 80’s, I was in the U.S. Marines. On your last day of serving 4 years of active service, guys would throw a pair of combat boots up in the air on power lines. I guess it was to say “I won’t be needing these f*cking things anymoreâ€. Nobody ever said why we did it, we just did it.
