Shoes pt. 2

This is a part 2, in reference to a post I made well over a year ago: SHHHoes

I've now been here a year and a half. But 'Japanese people and their shoes' is a subject that never ceases to intrigue. Every grade level has a unique color of slippers. In the picture above, the student's slippers are the ones that have a white part on the top (the other ones are guest shoes). The white parts have the student's names written on them.

It is convenient for me to figure out what grade the students are in, based on their slippers.

Speaking of shoes....the shoes students wear outside of school are ridiculous. Japanese students all seem to wear CraZY BriGhT sneakers, with crazy un-matching shoelaces. I think it is in backlash to having to conform so much at school...? Or bright neon green shoes with one bright orange and one bright purple shoelace is just "in". :)
