Oh, some kid must have a burnt foot to protect quickly... I like the emotion those lost shoes, everywhere, provokes. Can't help feeling nostalgic about it ;) Great dried pink in this tone.

Nice angle and well composed..
Get a "deserted" feel...
Not surprising, the owner abandoned this flimsy pair..in this hot climate...
