These sneaks were made for walking . . .

These shoes were painted early last year for the senior product manager of winter sports at Smith Optics.

He's an avid traveler/adventurer so we thought the world at his feet would be a fitting design. And in honor of today being the second round for the 2010 World Cup lottery, I thought I'd post them.

Although they are elegantly perched a top a fireplace, hopefully one day they too will see the streets of South East Asia or the glaciers of Nepal as one of Beans traveling companions.

Or maybe South Africa 2010?!?! A little World Cup action would probably do them some good . . .

They're getting cabin fever Bean!!
