tretorn


I just had flashbacks of being in a department store with my mother telling me, "These feel like walking on clouds..." while shoving my chub foot into a pair of tretorns, not dissimilar to these bad boys:
Only in a white and pink scheme which is just too shameful to post. Anyhow, so for many years after said flashback, I thought these were just poor kids' Keds, but apparently these were the shizzle to have back in the 70's and early 80's. May be why athletic shoes still get called "tennis shoes" today.

Enough rambling. Swedish Tretorns have some cute little shoes to be had again these days:


Am I the only child of the 80's who remembers these?
